The most recent data for California health expenditures <http://www.cms.hhs.gov/NationalHealthExpendData/downloads/nhestatehealthaccountstables.pdfhttp://www.cms.hhs.gov/NationalHealthExpendData/downloads/nhestatehealthaccountstables.pdf> was $126 billion in 2000. If that’s increased in line with national expenditures, that was probably about $170 billion in 2004. So, $1.4 billion is 0.8% of the total. Big damn deal, eh?
Nonchalance is left to the health care-privileged.
0.8%. What more can I say?
