What is the formula for healthcare costs? Is there a way to look at the costs of healthcare per person in relation to gdp and the real world cost of healthcare? I do wonder if the healthcare rate is overly expensive and or if there might be a difference in costs with different types of governance. I'm on WG, the grand state of basilka if that matters. |

Gov type will make no difference.
A couple of things will, medical materials and medical supplies I believe, their price will change overall health cost. The salaries being paid will too. The more money your pop earns the more it will contribute to the health care, so even though the cost wont be effected the amount met by your pop will.
This is how I understand it, it may not be 100% accurate, but you get the idea. |

Crafty- I was aware of the salaries and contributing, but not the supplies. Thanks. I do wonder about the rate though to gdp and how if might compare to a real country of similar size. So say a 30m population like mine is paying close to 8b/mo or 96b/yr or approx 3200$ per person with close to half covered by population. the us spent 8500$/yr per person average on healthcare which was 3k more than most other developed nations with the median being $3269. The amount spent on healthcare was 17% gdp in the US. Any idea how to formulate the gdp? |

I suppose you could get it roughly by looking at your country income, divided by your pop and take your health spending divided by pop as a percentage of that. Not sure how accurate that would be, but then how accurate can you be sure the USA figures are? Numbers tend to get manipulated very cleverly as I'm sure you know.
Dont know why you would want to compare this to R/L, the figures are completely unrealistic. |
