Once that is taken care of we can discuss new ways to spend. |
You do realize that chart is Missing Data?
You need to ADD your "CURRENT" health care costs to that chart. See, those other countries have that cost added in, we don't... and damn, ours is still that high?
Once you add in our health care costs as a tax, right now.. WE are taxed more than the majority.
