Answer:

The bar chart illustrates data on the percentage of money spent on health in Japan, Italy, France, German and the USA in the year 2002.

Overall, it is clear that Americans spent the most money on health in five nations. Another visible trend is that private spending was higher than public spending in almost countries (except for the USA).

Japanese people spent the least on health, just exactly 8% in total, nearly 4% publicly and around 2% privately. Also, the figures for Italy were the second lowest, at about 9%, 5% and 3% of GDP for total, public and private spending respectively.

France, German and the USA obviously spent more on health than two other countries. The percentage of health spending of GDP of France was precisely 12% for total spending, 8% for public spending and a bit over 2% for private spending, compared to accurately 12%, a bit more than 8% and exactly 4% of German. Considerably, the USA saw the highest figures of the whole chart, with exactly 14%, 10% and 12% in total, public and private spending. America is also the only country which spent money on health publicly less than privately.
