Where is the flaw in my logic?

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/...y-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?

Check your math to see if you find logic.

I didn't move the decimal two spaces! So I was off by 90K! Should be 10,000 a year in interest.

It would still be a much better investment of 700 million dollars than a PR campaign to sell a law that even the people who lobbied heavily for it don't even want when they realize how awful it will be...

I was referring to 2 million dollars for each 314 million person is 628 trillion not about 700 million you had stated.

For a second there you were thinking JUST LIKE the government, but then you came to your senses.
(just don't make a habit of it, OK?)
