$0.00 because Obama healed everyone with his speeches.
It was actually around $835 billion spent on Medicare/Medicaid. I find that number interesting because the current GOP talking point is that Obama cut Medicare by $716 billion. I find the actually Medicare spending and GOP talking point not matching up.

That's because $716 billion cut is a projection over a time period cut from an already existing baseline projection.
Also, that comes out to $17,395 per Medicare/Medicaid subscriber as 48 million Americans are enrolled in the programs as of 2010 according to wikipedia. I thought Single payer was going to magically lower costs?

Oh, so Obama didn't "gut" Medicare. I'm glad we agree.

It is no secret that Americans are idiots... that they can't even handle Medicare, much less have a larger plan that covers all at a lower cost.
Now, your perceptions and assumptions aside, your math is amusing. I thought you were majoring in Statistics?
