U.S. health-care spending hits nearly $2 trillion
Perspective alert!
A trillion is a million million. In the US a trillion is a 1 followed by 12 zeros.
$2,000,000,000,000 is more money than the GNI or Gross National Income of any country except the USA, Japan, Germany, China, UK and France. (using the Atlas method)
That averages out to $6,666.67 for each man, woman and child in the US, assuming 300 million people.
Being fit is cheaper. And better.
BTW, it's not health care, it is sick care.
