--YIKES! American Health Care and the environment (This doesn't exactly fit on this page, but I came across this in an article & found it very concerning) "...__spending on health care, by families and by the government, is crowding out spending on almost everything else.__ As a nation, [|we now spend almost 18 percent] of our GDP on health care. In 1966, Medicare and Medicaid made up 1 percent of total government spending; now that figure is 20 percent, and [|quickly rising]. Already, the federal government spends eight times as much on health care as it does on education, 12 times what it spends on food aid to children and families, 30 times what it spends on law enforcement, __78 times what it spends on land management and conservation, 87 times the spending on water supply, and 830 times the spending on energy conservation.__ Education, public safety, environment, infrastructure—all other public priorities are being slowly devoured by the health-care beast."
