I’m sorry you were forced to admit that you’ve never had a passport, **Starving** , but it seems you don’t need much knowledge or experience to be so very smart about so many things! Congratulations!!

When I saw this I thought maybe you didn’t know that 100% minus 3% was 97%, but now I see you did that arithmetic correctly in your post. I’m sure it’s unfair to hold you responsible for bullshit from the stupider **Starving** who, once upon a time, thought Trump had an MBA. … But the following was posted by you \*less than a week ago. \* I’ve highlighted the portions you don’t seem to remember.

So _ **for every one hundred dollars** _ paid into health care in America, only three of it gets kept by the insurance companies, and _ **$97 of it is paid out in service of patient healthcare.** _

Does this jog your recollection?  
It’s good to hear you’ve revised your opinion of the Donald. I still treasure your earlier view, with its inimitable hyperbole:
