Answer:

B. ethosuximide-valproic acid can be used for absence seizures

Andreyy89

Answer:

much lower

Explanation:

The US healthcare system has long been criticized for its high costs and very low efficiency. It is undoubtedly the healthiest country in the world, 15% of its GDP, equivalent to $ 6000 per inhabitant / year. Spending more than twice what most countries with efficient health systems, and where all their inhabitants are entitled to the treatment they need.

According to the World Health Organization, in efficiency, American health is located below the 40th place, among the countries of the world, even inferior to several poor countries. And if the costs are high, the worst is that they continue to grow. Despite all this spending, about 15 percent of the population, equivalent to 46 million Americans, is not entitled to health care when they become ill. Thus, we can conclude that although the US government spends more on health care than other developed countries,  in relationship with expenditures, U.S. health population status ranking on critical indicators in comparison with other developed nations is much lower.
