minus-squareOmar Khayyámlinkfedilink8•7 months agoHey what percent is $14 billion of the $4.3 trillion Americans spend on healthcare?
minus-squareDr. CoomerlinkfedilinkEnglish2•edit-27 months ago0.325%. Where the fuck did all that money come from?
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish3•7 months agoAt that scale money doesn’t actually exist. It’s just agreements between banks and nations.
minus-squareOmar Khayyámlinkfedilink1•7 months ago$14 billion is like $40 bucks per American. Might be able to buy a toothbrush and some bandaids with that healthcare money.
minus-squareDr. CoomerlinkfedilinkEnglish2•7 months agoI’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.
minus-squareOmar Khayyámlinkfedilink1•7 months agoYeah, I’m always second guessing my math too, lol. I think it should billion not million in this case.
