The median household income is ~$50k and the average household has 2.6 people. That means you somehow think a govt run healthcare system that covers everything Medicare/Medicaid covers will cost a touch over $1,000 per person.2001400ex said:

Math is hard for morons.2001400ex said:Why not just open Medicare to everyone and change the tax to like 6%. You can still buy supplemental insurance if you choose. Keep the private/non profit hospitals and everything else the same. Forget all these stupid rules, tax cuts, insurance subsidies, premiums, etc.
Now compare that to what current Medicare or Medicaid actually spends per person.
Speed limit...

I like to blame kids with cancer for getting cancer, too.doogie said:Grow up? Take responsibility for your own life?
I especially like to blame them for not having parents that can pay for their treatment. -
Well if their parents would have been responsible and put their $200 a month into their health savings plan, cancer kid would be able to spend at least 2 and a half days in the hospital.dflea said:

Median income? Lol that's awesome. Median income is meaningless in this exercise.HoustonHusky said:

6% might be too low, but your math isn't close to right. -

Mean income is ~$70k, but only idiots like you don't realize that the wealth that skews it higher isn't salary wealth...it's capital gains, dividends, and such which is handled much differently tax-wise.2001400ex said:

So you are off anywhere from 500% to 900% on your math, which for someone with a speed limit IQ is still pretty bad. But go ahead and tell yourself you have thought about this seriously...

Eull Gibbons. "Ever eat a tree"? Race we're old. The other guy was Jim Fix big runner wrote a book and helped start jogging craze. I think Grape Nuts used him too or someone similar. He dropped dead jogging.RaceBannon said:There was a guy in the 70's who did advertisements for Grape Nuts and was an early fitness guru. Believe it or not America used to be even fatter than it is now. And when guys worked out they had short gym shorts and white tube socks and looked like faggots.
But I digress, Grape Nut boy dropped dead at a young age. -
