“We spend a lot” and “people make profit off denying and inflating cost of care which results in needless deaths” are not exclusive scenarios.

No one asserted they all merged at the same time in a way that this sort of 30,000 foot overview would illustrate, nor that the effects would be instantaneous. > I took the time to assemble and present the data I mean, as a bit of feedback on that work, it'd be substantially more useful if the site said whether or not it's at least inflation adjusted. Population adjustment would be handy, too.
