- Retric 7y agoNo, the US government is actually #2 in handing money per person to healthcare companies. Though some of this is government employees or retirees. We also subsidize the most expensive people, including the elderly and people with cancer and AIDS. Plus, we directly subsidize hospitals in rural areas etc. It’s a giant flood of money.

- Retric 7y agoSpends in paper is perhaps more vague than I was assuming. What did you mean? I am saying even if you ignore paperwork costs and crazy bills, it’s still a vast sums of money often sent with minimal overhead. The VA for example is quite expensive though somewhat less so than the rest of US healthcare.
