Calling back to my last post; At both the Federal and Individual level, health expenditure as a percent of total expenditure is now #1 In the past health was not nearly as significant of an expense. The average American spends more on health than rent, and the Federal govt. spends more on health than National Defense and Interest payments combined

This is why Obamacare was so important and needs to be followed up with single payer. The health insurance companies will bankrupt us long term
