Stopping the Iraq war. Direct cost are now over 615 billion dollars, secondary effects of the war are estimated to have cost the U.S. 2-3 trillion dollars. That would have paid for health care for every American from 2003-today and every Iraqi, too. |
If the American GDP is $13.86 Trillion and Healtcare represents 16% of GDP, that means Americans have spent $11 Trillion on healtcare since 2003 ... Far more than either the $615 Billion or 2 to 3 trillion you claim the war cost.
