The US already spends enough money on healthcare.
It's just sucked up by health insurance companies.
Spending less on war won't fix healthcare. Spending less on war and more on healthcare will just make healthcare worse because it will give the private equity vampires running the system more cash with which to bribe politicians and screw us over even more.
Fixing healthcare means spending less.
Spending less on healthcare means we get to spend more on war.
If the US would just get off its ass and implement single-payer we could save so much money that we could have a military capable of killing God.
Same goes for K-12 education spending. The US is consistently in the top 4-5 nations as a percentage of GDP per capita. The money is being wasted. On what, I don't know, I haven't looked into it.
But I do know that the US could halve what it spends on healthcare and "only" be spending what everyone else is spending.
That would save like $2.25 trillion per year.
$2.25 trillion dollars can buy a lot of B-21 bombers.
Thousands of them.
- taylodl 2y agoExcellent points. I don't know if the US could halve their spending on healthcare, but I do believe they could reduce overall healthcare spending by 25%, and be able to provide healthcare to ALL of their citizens. Their problem is they have too many citizens who believe they can only climb by pushing others down, and so they need to deny their fellow citizens healthcare so they themselves can believe they're succeeding. Such a selfish civilization is doomed to collapse. Even AI agrees with me! :)
