Reply #32: For one thing, they don't OVERPAY for health care and other things.

[Festivito]

We overpay for healthcare by about 150%, paying 250% of what we would need to pay. That additional 1.5T$ raises our GDP, but for no good purpose, in fact it is for bad purpose, that 1.5T$ is used to deny health care and to keep Americans sick in order to continue their constant payments.

Add that we pay for insurances that cover us badly, internet that is behind in coverage, and higher priced bad coverage cell phones. We pay extra for these things, get less, but they add to GDP.
