    This is $3000 per American. We could easily cut it in half and allocate the savings to something useful, like healthcare.

      Bear in mind you already spend more per capita on healthcare than countries with universal healthcare , it’s just you don’t get anything for it, except the opportunity to make some different billionaires richer

      So yeah you could add it to that and I dunno, buy some megayachts for someone or something

      We don’t need to. We could take the existing amount spent on healthcare, re-organize as universal healtch care single payer, and spend the same amount.
