Odd. After Matthew Yglesias followed up my little post earlier about health care costs with a comment on Tapped, I wanted to go back to the OECD archives to do a little more digging for interesting numbers. In particular, I’m pretty sure the scales the OECD uses to make PPP adjustments are (usually) available online, so if we wanted to find the raw numbers of dollars per capita each country spends, we could do that. (Off the top of my head speculation – these numbers will look even worse for the USA than the adjusted numbers, but that won’t really matter because the adjusted numbers are what we should be looking at.) But the OECD site is down. At least, it’s homepage is down. It’s still possible to access Excel files (like this one) if you know what you are looking for, but if you look for the homepage you get a 404 message. Just which kind of website has its databases up but can’t find it’s homepage? Odd. Maybe they just don’t work weekends in Paris. Or maybe the website is also overcome with World Cup excitement.
