Here is how economies work

We spend one way or another either before, after or thru taxes as a nation, 35 trillion with a single payer system or 43.5 trillion with the current conglomeration of stuff that leaves more and more people out of the market each year.

So you think spending over 8 trillion more over ten years is a good deal?

I have a couple of months before I'm on Medicare and out of the private insurance market, I'm glad.
