i think there are two very different things going on here.
true the welfare children of america is a heavy heavy burden, not only are they costly in healthcare but also the prison system is bogged down, not to mention the lack of taxes collected from these non-producing citizens are causing major cash drought in city and state budgets.
however the other side of the story is that the US healthcare industry has taken everyone on a long long ride.
stories of a single motrin dosage costing over $10 on a hospital compared to the consumer "street" cost of a few cents.
the motrin scenario is just the example, however it is duplicated in many facets of the healthcare industry.
matter a fact the healthcare industry in US is the largest industry, larger than real estate, oil-gas, construction etc etc.
the problem is a group of very wealthy is getting very wealthy by keeping this system and they use this buying power in washington dc to lobby and buy politicians in order to keep status quo and rake in cash..
btw, these people love the wealfare patients, cause the government pays better than privates...
