1. Last report I recall, it was $8,160 per American. Can too tell.
Single payer countries pay around $3,000 per countryperson.

We used to pay closer to $6,000 per American when Hillary looked at it, while the rest of the world covered everyone for $3,000.

Do I really want a doctor who would mess up my health in order to make more money, AND PAY EXTRA FOR THE ... HONOR????

I think we could tell if the for-profit health insurance companies saved money or not.

3. Oh come on
They've managed to cook the books on everything else. God, there are people who still think unemployment is only 9 percent and that the cost of living has only gone up 3.1 percent.

They will release a flurry of confusing figures, showing that they saved a billion trillion dollars, and somehow we'll all end up paying more. And they'll all have a good laugh over it as they sip champagne on the corporate jet.
