I believe Medicare and Medicaid combined are around 50% of healthcare spending.

Medical services are accessed at a large rate by the elderly and disabled. They have a government payor source.

This is why everything in the medical universe is so expensive.

If you don't understand this, I don't know what to tell you.

Do you think 20 minutes in a CAT scan machine being overseen by a person making $15/hour really costs $2000?
