Some observations .....
* We have no national health care yet look at the cost of "Health and Human Services" Americas biggest expense!
* Look at the "Social Security" costs, a large chunk of this is "Medicare" which is actually a health care cost.
* "Veterans Affairs" most of this is medical costs associated with veterans.
Total these health care costs along with the appropriate amount of interest on our national debt that funds these programs ... Did you have any idea it was this big a part of our nation's budget? The biggest by far!!!
The largest percentage of our tax's go to health care yet we technically have no health care.
Add private spending to this figure thru insurance companies and the total is mind boggling. Have any candidates discussed this obvious problem?
