So you could have increased the healthcare spend by 12% for 10 years if you didn't overthrow Iraq's government?


Which in practice likely means that the C-suite and top people will be 4% richer, there will be 5% more unnecessary administrators, there will be 2% more line workers and the experience will be 1% better at the same or worse price point for all of us.

I'm not defending spending the $$ on bombing brown people, but it's hard to overstate how divorced spending is from outcomes in US healthcare. It's as bad or worse than colleges.


Sure, but it wasn't me who first used Tomahawks as a monetary unit to measure healthcare spend.
