  • What's the total cost to all US governments of health care, including coverage for employees and tax breaks ?

    I'd like to know the total bill, what's being spent by every level of government in the country, including the revenue lost to deductions taken by both businesses and individuals. Medicare, Medicade, Veterans, Military,any other government programs, health coverage for government employees at all levels, the tax breaks at all levels - the works. I expected to find this number fairly easily; how can we talk about the proper role of government in health care if we don't know how much is already being paid for with tax dollars ? But I can't find it.
