Given that inpatient + outpatient = 100% of the category, I have to agree. Lumping the cost of "Medical Care" into a single metric in a breakdown of spending on, well, medical care, doesn't offer much insight. Showing exactly the same data in 4 different graphing methods doesn't add anything but clutter. The lack of effort honestly makes me question this organization's mission.

I think the most useful bit is the reference to the OECD data source. For those not already aware, OECD has far more detailed data available to browse [0], and heaps of more informative and competent presentations [1].
