About That "Healthcare Expense Waste"

Not coincidentally, there are news reports out this week of between $500 billion and $850 billion of "waste" in the health care system.

As Q and O points out, however, approximately $200 billion of that amount is related to Medicare (already run by the government) and another $200-300 billion is related to "unnecessary care such as the overuse of antibiotics and lab tests to protect against malpractice exposure," none of which is addressed in Obamacare.
