You're forgetting that U.S. healthcare costs are also massively overblown compared to other western countries, due to the absence of proper collective bargaining. (And possibly even collusion between insurers and healthcare providers to rip off citizens and the government.)
- onlyrealcuzzo 8mo agoThat has nothing to do with the Department of Defense / War, or its budget.
- eqvinox 8mo agoIt does with the root comment though, it's all just piss poor politics :-)
- Sabinus 8mo agoThe root comment implies that if not for warmongering, you could have had healthcare. That's not the case. If the USA had a more functioning political system (ranked choice voting etc) and didn't hate 'communism' so much then they would have healthcare.
