    Hey what percent is $14 billion of the $4.3 trillion Americans spend on healthcare?

      You mean over spend? If the government handled healthcare it would be cheaper.

        Sure, I agree we can get cheaper healthcare, but $14 billion amounts to like $40 bucks per American. Not buying many more healthcare and schools with that. This meme (at least the second part) is stupid and won’t convince anyone who supports Israel aid to change their minds because the math is not convincing. Makes for a weak argument, imho.

        At that scale money doesn’t actually exist. It’s just agreements between banks and nations.

        $14 billion is like $40 bucks per American. Might be able to buy a toothbrush and some bandaids with that healthcare money.

          I’m not sure if my math is correct, but it’s more like 4 cent per American. 14 million divided by 331.9 million gets 0.0421.

            Yeah, I’m always second guessing my math too, lol. I think it should billion not million in this case.
