The Obama administration has recently announced a marketing campaign to educate and hopefully convince people that Obamacare is actually a good thing. The cost of the PR campaign $700 million! http://washington.cbslocal.com/2013/07/24/obamacare-national-marketing-campaign-to-cost-nearly-700-million/
How many people are currently in the US? 314 million.
The government could open an health savings account(HSA) for EVERY American(man, woman and child) and deposit $2 million in it to pay for their health care costs. If each account earned .5% interest, that would be a yearly increase of $100,000 dollars. Plenty of money for most people's health care costs without even reducing the principal.
What am I missing here??? Wouldn't this solve most, if not all, of our healthcare issues? Why would we spend over a trillion dollars to insure about 40 million people with no insurance?
