Over $3 trillion spent on health/healthcare in the United States in one year - more findings

• Federal subsidies for ACA Marketplace premiums and cost sharing totaled $18.5 billion, accounting for 12% of the $151 billion in new health spending in 2014.
• Federal spending on Medicaid increased 18.4% (compared to 0.9% for states), as the federal government fully funded the ACA's expansion of Medicaid eligibility in participating states.
• Spending on prescription drugs increased by $32.4 billion, or 12.2%, much faster than recent years. New hepatitis C drugs accounted for $11.3 billion, more than one-third of the increase in all prescription drug spending.

Yeah well the democrooks pushed this abortion on us because they knew it was a disaster.

The Romney tards "compromised" with bed wetting liberals and created a disaster.

Rather than blame government, it's our fault for not funding it enough.

Funny how that works.

And we have the basis for the 8,700 per person per year.

That number is beyond reason.
