Link to National Geographic chart showing relative cost of health care per person in several countries, contrasted with average life expectancy, care of the National Geographic blog. I am reading Tufte right now so I find this fascinating. I am also living in the US as we pass “sweeping” health care reform, so I find it a bit scary as well. The data are not perfect—in fact they are quite reviled by some—but I think the point is made well, which is the point of any graphic element.
