Yeah. The hardest number I've seen is that if we reduced the spend on health care in the US just to the OECD average, it would reduce overall revenue in the sector by $1 Trillion every year. That's a lot of peoples salaries and livelihoods wiped out and they will fight tooth and nail to protect it.
This is why we should not accept any health care reform proposal that any of the American Medical Association, the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, or the American Hospital Association are generally supportive of. Whatever we try, they should be vehemently against, just like they were with Medicare.
