The average health expenditure per person that has been paid by government entities during the given year, expressed in US dollars using the average exchange rate.

HOW TO JOIN WITH METADATA

• Concepts (labels/units)
– Use the concept id government_health_spending_per_person_us to look up labels and units in @gapminder.metadata.concepts.
SELECT * FROM @gapminder.metadata.concepts WHERE concept = 'government_health_spending_per_person_us'.

• Countries and names
– Join your datapoints on geo to @gapminder.metadata.entities_geo_country to get readable country/area names
(e.g., name) and membership attributes such as world_4region, income_groups.

• Regions and other group labels
– After you have a region code from the country table (e.g., world_4region),
you can join to:
· @gapminder.metadata.entities_geo_world_4region on world_4region → region names/colors/shapes
· @gapminder.metadata.entities_geo_world_6region on world_6region → region names
· @gapminder.metadata.entities_geo_income_groups on income_groups → income group names

Example:
SELECT d.time,
c.name AS country,
d.government_health_spending_per_person_us AS value
FROM @gapminder.government_health_spending_per_person_us.government_health_spending_per_person_us_by_geo_time d
LEFT JOIN @gapminder.metadata.entities_geo_country c ON d.geo = c.country;
