Nope. $1.1 trillion divided by the 300 million population of the US comes to only $3666 per person. That's enough for routine care and common prescriptions and such, but not going to cover any kind of serious surgery or therapy.

(It's kind of amazing that at the scale of the United States government, a trillion dollars is not in fact a whole lot of money.)

Consider though, that most people do not need serious surgery. Most people who do do not need it yearly. My yearly medical expenses during the past five years have consisted of two fillings and some over the counter drugs. The yearly average ould cover a decent plate of sushi.

That means there's about $3620 left over for someone else's more serious issues. Well, except for the part where I paid those expenses out of pocket so they don't show up in the Federal budget.
