- jokethrowaway 3y agoSure, let's assume 100B What's the value provided to citizens by spending 67B on health in the USA in terms of value provided? 10B in a country where prices are not the result of insurance companies colluding with the government?
- robertlagrant 3y agoI'm replying to this: > Government money is a direct pipe to transnational corporations and the billionaires that run it. Welfare payments are peanuts compared to it.
