  > I didn't say "unlimited" health care, anywhere. You said that it was wrong to limit healthcare access. If there aren't limits, it's unlimited. > I just believe that in this day and age, the US should join other first world countries in valuing life above military. What makes you think that it doesn't? The US spends far more on health care than it does on the military. Yes, that's true of the federal govt. Note that state and local govts also spend money on health, and they spend very little on the military. And then there's private spending. In fact, one of the big arguments by folks arguing for more govt healthcare is that they claim that it will cost less than the current system. > Care to elaborate? If I observe your life, I'm pretty sure that I'll find several things that you do that are not as good for your health as they could be. (Here are easy ones - is your weight ideal? Do you exercise enough? How about sleep?) Their existence proves that health isn't your highest priority. I'm not saying that you're wrong to have priorities other that health, but it is absurd to criticize others for doing the same.
