We are not paying 5% more. We are paying 5% of our GDP more. It is not a matter of adding 5% to our medical bills.The current GDP is in the neighborhood of 14 trillion. 5% of that is 700 billion dollars. That is the difference in cost. As for you assessment of our getting better treatment for that 700 B, the WHO does not agree. Neither does Openmind, who appears to have some first hand experience. Isn't 700B about half of the current deficit, and approximately the entire cost of the US military? That is how much we're spending over and above what we need to spend on health care. How is that sustainable?
