[QUOTE="hislegacy, post: 74709053, member: 169010"] [INDENT][URL='https://www.factcheck.org/2019/10/sanders-misleads-on-family-health-care-costs/']Sen. Bernie Sanders[/URL] [B][U]continues to make the misleading claim[/U][/B] that “the average family of four spends $28,000 a year on health care.” That’s the projected average cost for employer-sponsored health insurance for “typical” families of that size, but the employee paid about 44% of that total amount in 2018, while the employer paid the other 56%. [/INDENT] I listened as Mr. Sanders also said that the drug industry made 100,000,000,000 in profits and they should not. Let's look at some numbers: [INDENT][URL='https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/does-bernie-sanderss-health-plan-cost-33-trillion--or-save-2-trillion/2018/07/31/d178b14e-9432-11e8-a679-b09212fb69c2_story.html']Congressional Republicans[/URL] seized on a new study Monday estimating that a universal health-care plan by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) would cost the federal government $33 trillion by 2031, arguing that it proves Democrats have moved too far left. [/INDENT] Let's knock nine zero's* off to help understand a little better. Mr. Sanders does not like the pharma companies making 100 x 10 years = 1,000* while wanting to spend 33,000*. Now, let's look at [URL='https://www.brookings.edu/blog/up-front/2019/06/25/six-facts-about-wealth-in-the-united-states/']the famous 1%[/URL] [INDENT]In fact, the top one percent [I]alone[/I] holds more wealth than the middle class. They owned 29 percent—or over $25 trillion EX - Jeff Bezo has 127* - once you take it - he doesn't have it any longer. [/INDENT] That 25,000* is total wealth, all their cash, properties and belongings EVERYTHING. You can take everything only once. Take that and add it to the 1,000* of big pharma profits. You can confiscate all the wealth of the top 1%, all the profits from the big pharma and you still run short of the costs by 7,000* Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
