While I was reading the article, I realised that while spending a lot of money on healthcare is probably a good idea, it doesn´t necessarily lead to the best results. (furthermore, even though)

If the government doesn´t improve healthcare, people will continue to die unnecessarily and the current approach is also a waste of money. (furthermore, otherwise)

Although the Americans spend the most on healthcare, they don´t have the world´s best system. (even so, whereas)
