I was asking about healthcare, because to give free insurance to every single US citizen would cost roughly $3k per person per year if you go by the average cost of other countries whom provide free healthcare.

That equals roughly 956 billion dollars a year.. Do you know how much subsidies were given to the fossil fuel industry in 2010? just over 30 billion dollars. It's one third of the cost to give free healthcare to every American, including yourself and your family.

Now add in that 8 billion which Dyna Mo just mentioned to Boeing from a "single" state. Now think about that.. Do you think those subsides add up to the amount of jobs created if every American could go to the doctor when ever they wanted for free?

This isn't even touching base on the money we would save as tax payers for medical costs of uninsured and the drastic drop in cost of medicare expenditure and so on.

Now think about that for just a min and then ask your self, why is it ok to give Big oil free tax dollars or Boeing.. ect..ect.. What benefits are the average Americans getting for those subsidies dollars vs what would they get if that money went to healthcare & education.
