Bernie said during a debate that there is 100 billion in profits made per year by the health care industry. That's $100,000,000,000 a year. Even if we assumed that every last person in the USA had health care costs per year, that would still come out to $327 per year in profits, per person, on average. Edit: This is just the profits made from health insurance companies, and pharma. It doesn't include doctor's offices, or hospitals!
The question I want to ask here, is how many people actually use health care in the US per year? I'd like to get this down to how much profit is made on the average patient.
