Feel free to look up the percent of GDP that other countries spend on healthcare, We win, as long as the highest is winning
If we had a healthcare system that provided primary care alone it would reduce our total healthcare costs by reducing Emergency room usage and providing treatment at earlier stages of disease.
Never mind the drug costs in this country compared to others.
I never mentioned healthcare...those were wealth inequality numbers
