Steve: please

The cost of US health care is roughly 5 trillon dollars a year, give or take

1% of that is 50 billion
1% of that is 500 million

honestly, I know it sounds absurd (and it is) but in the federal budget, 100 million dollars is just not a lot of money; it is such a small amount , it has zero real world impact on other spending
true, it maybe used to justify cuts to other places, but realisticaly 100 million is a tiny tiny amount
