      US government spends more per capital on healthcare than all those nations with fancy universal healthcare.

        twice as much, per capita, in fact. and the u.s. fails to cover everyone or everything that should be (like it is elsewhere at half the cost).

          The US some how manages to spend more on public healthcare per person than countries with universal coverage, then spends even more than that on private healthcare on top.

        A lot of which goes towards research. Turns out developing vaccines costs money.

        Oh but you need to consider the overall spending on healthcare, not per-capita. That would be around 100-10000 times more than any other cointry. /s
        Also I hope that its clear that spending money on healthcare while not providing healthcare does not make it any better.

        lord diaper sees any foreign spending that isn’t promoting his string-puller’s agenda as being a waste–because that money could be flowing to him and his comrades instead.
