This is the most basic fact that people in the US need to be made aware of: we spend literally twice as much per person on healthcare as the rest of the developed world. Twice as fucking much!

Sure, but isn't the principle more important to Americans that your tax money should not be used to help others? Paying a premium to privatized health care doesn't matter too much, they're already rich. Having immigrants, homeless, sick people etc be beneficiaries would be "unfair".
