As I said, this is pretty much complete nonsense and a classic example of the phenomenon of American blindness to their problems. Take your ludicrous assertion that healthcare costs will decline as a % of GDP over the next 20 years. You are on another planet to the rest of us.

And yet I'm the one backing up my position, meanwhile you stick to hurling insults. We're already at a point where healthcare costs as a % of GDP will begin declining. With the expansion of the ACA, the US Government has begun doing what every country in Europe does: squeezing unnecessary costs out of healthcare any way they can. You claimed healthcare costs would bankrupt the US without reforms. Now let's see you prove what you said, instead of relying on ad hominem attacks in place of actual data points. Per capita healthcare expenditure growth has been falling for about 12 years now, and is down to low single digits: http://i.imgur.com/5ARcJ1s.jpg http://i.imgur.com/5ARcJ1s.jpg "Medical Costs Register First Decline Since 1970s" http://blogs.wsj.com/economics/2013/06/18/medical-costs-register-first-decline-since-1970s/ http://blogs.wsj.com/economics/2013/06/18/medical-costs-regi...
