U.S. Healthcare Legislation Investment Impact

You claim spending of $1000 per household. But liberal Democrats have to give subsidies, because households lack $1000 to spend. They have to get the money from OPs (other people) after passing through the hands of the middleman (government) to skim off their bureaucracy cost.

It is a fact (by polls) that those who can afford healthcare, but do not want to spend "their own money" for it, are willing to spend only $100 to $200 per month (unrealistic).
