    The best part is that it’s only State spendings, people in the USA also pay for private insurance individually!

      Americans essentially pay for our insurance 4 times.

      we pay more tax dollars per patient than ay other country

      We pay hundreds per person per month in insurance premiums

      We pay all healthcare expenses until we hit our annual deductible

      We they pay a co-pay percentage after all treatment beyond the deductible.

      Everyone knows it’s a broken system, but people are adamant that anything else would be communism or would make you lose an election.

        The people worried about “losing an election” are paid by the people who profit from the broken system. The communism fear is a strawman that liberals use to excuse their worthless party.
