    This means the U.S. government spent more on health care last year than the governments of Germany, the U.K., Italy, Spain, Austria, and France combined spent to provide universal health care coverage to the whole of their population (335 million in total), which is comparable in size to the U.S. population of 331 million.

    Literally the third paragraph. The fourth paragraph goes on to say how much those countries spent. But you know you would have to click the link then.

      Not familiar with the site means I’m not clicking the link. Considering the name of the instance you’re on you should expect that people don’t just click every link they see

        My man, don’t you be making the healthcare cost problem even worse by dealing out sick burns like that.

        Yeah you really should look into mitigating that risk somehow and I’m truly sorry about this but it’s probably going to involve clicking on a few links.
