-Perhaps, you didn't read till the end of the post, where I added this bit:

Your right, I missed it, which is the point. We usually bury that punchline instead of putting it front and center. After a lot of work, most Americans know that millions of people don't have health insurance. Very few know that the US spends more on health care than any other country despite that fact
