- forgotpwtomain 11y ago> Source: US federal budget. And 4th grade math. But mostly the budget. Okay, here is the Wikipedia result (2014, in billions): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015_United_States_federal_budget https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015_United_States_federal_bud... Medicare: 519.027 Health: 450.795 With 125 million households: ((519.027 + 450.795) * 10^9)/ (125*10^6)) = $7758 Let me quote your original post: >> $1,000 / year each : Exceeds combination of all federal spending on healthcare and education. So how about actually providing some information about which sources you are looking at and how you are doing calculations, instead of pulling numbers out of your ass, and then offering some dismissive condescending response: > Source: US federal budget. And 4th grade math. But mostly the budget. When someone quite reasonably asks you to provide these - since your post as it stands really isn't contributing anything to the conversation..
