1. Fifteen Bucks A Month Sounds About Right

In 1927.
At $180 dollars per year, if every person on the planet paid that premium, i would barely cover the health care expenditures for the United States. It would not cover it for the EU.

So, that premium translates to EVERYBODY individually buying in, but only covering about 8% of the population of earth

On Edit: I double counted some of the expenditures, so the above isn't accurate, but i stand by how easy it would be to make $15 per month sound utterly ridiculous.

Trump is so ignorant that he couldn't pour piss out of a boot with the directions on the heel. SamKnause May 2017 #10

True, but he could catch it with a boot if it came from a Russian female. Elwood P Dowd May 2017 #11
