That's our specialty, spending unfathomable amounts of money on healthcare without the general public seeing any sort of benefit from it.

You can say that about any industry in America. They're all out to make as much money as they can with no care of the consequences.

Because it's not meant to benefit the public. It's meant to syphon all of the money into the accounts of a couple of people.

Vote single payer candidates, fuck insurance, fuck middle men, fuck for profit medicine, fuck big pharma.

This headline makes no sense. Healthcare products and services are part of the GDP. Doesn't including the comparison here simply mean that the forecast GDP was wrong?
