Newsweek: Your Employer-Sponsored Healthcare Costs Will Climb, But Don't Worry Who's Getting Your Money
While Newsweek quietly projects yet another increase in the financial burden on working Americans for basic medical care, they conveniently omit the federal ledger. In calendar year 2023, for instance, the U.S. sent approximately $3.8 billion in military aid to Israel, a figure maintained annually for decades. According to OpenSecrets, members of Congress who routinely champion these aid packages,
like Rep. Steny Hoyer, have received hundreds of thousands in contributions from lobbying groups such as AIPAC over their careers. So, as your employer's health plan gets pricier and your paycheck thins, just remember: someone's always getting paid. It's just not necessarily for your health. One might wonder if the cost of military adventurism and relentless lobbying is ever factored into
'domestic priorities.' (Spoiler: It's not.)
