The national debt is at 27 trillion, that is entirely from state spending of federal reserve printed fiat currency. The citizens did not create that debt.

The duopoly that dominates the structure of american politics is based on a schizophrenic spoils system that whiplashes from one interest group to another.

And here are the healthcare indexes by country (how healthy people are in each country per dollar spent on healthcare):

Notice how the US isn't even in the top 20?



This slightly right leaning website explains why the US does so poorly:

This proves my point.

Key phrase from your post is how much our GOVERNMENT pays. Anything handled by the gov is inefficient. That gov spending comes out of our pocket in the form of taxation

What is the cost of business owners to provide health insurance, not just the cost of the service but the requirements to meet code/hr/education etc.........more admin costs, more irs code to sift through etc.

That cost is a HUGE burden for business owners and it makes us less competitve globally.

DDM is still wrong.

All that stuff is enforced through the monopolization of force via the state. If the market were completely de regulated everyone would be much more prosperous and even charitable.

Wrong. Not a single place in any of that states it is what the government pays. This is why you're a retarded idiot and why you shouldn't be taken seriously:



Despite the U.S. government having the highest healthcare budget, much of the cost is not publicly financed, but instead comes from personal expenditures and those related to private health insurance.

Just answer my questions from the previous post. I get the feeling you don't understand the healthcare market in the USA.

I thought your line of questioning was asking about whether or not gov. Regulation being forced on business owners is detrimental... I answered indeed it is and in fact think the state is solely a parasitic entity.

Im saying the existence of a state, which can use it's monopolized force, having a healthcare budget at all costs us. Do you think the u.s. gov. Earns it's own money?

This is an austrian economist talking on healthcare. Im not a professional economist.


Edit: he also specifically addresses stats like yours because as they say; statistics dont lie, but liars use statistics.

And yet healthcare is cheaper in Canada than in the U S.
