The report says an ageing population and the high cost of advanced treatments will help push health spending past 9% of gross domestic product - one of the highest levels in the world.
For the love of all that is holy... have you recently suffered some kind of head trauma?
9%?!?! OH NO! Imagine if the US spent an entire 9% of it's GDP on health care!
Oh wait, the US has already broken 16%. As in the VERY highest level in the world. By a MASSIVE margin. Nobody else is even in the same league on how much money their health care system siphons off every year. Dropping that to 9% in the States would be a SAVINGS of about a Trillion (yes, with a 'T') freaking dollars a year. Please, scare me more with your horrifying tales of saving mind boggling sums of money.
Listen captain clueless, you are standing in a house that is burning down around your ears and bitching that the place people are suggesting you relocate to doesn't have air conditioning.
And FYI, that report you keep quoting is a little old... I can tell because of that 9% number.
