Quote from link below: "The US has the highest health spending in the world - equivalent to 17.9% of its gross domestic product (GDP), or $8,362 per person. And it's not all private - government spending is at $4,437 per person, only behind Luxembourg, Monaco and Norway."
The number one cause of bankruptcy in this country, folks, is one health care incident suffered by someone who can't afford and doesn't have health care insurance. And there's a lot more ugly facts about our absurd, crushing, far-too-expensive system.
We need to do things about this, starting with fighting the health insurance companies and pharmaceuticals. They're cleaning our collective financial clocks, folks.
