      That’s usually what a defense budget is for.

      The healthcare budget is for healthcare strangely enough.

        SatansMagotyCumFart, are you being intentionally or unintentionally dense?

              What’s funny is that there should be less healthcare budget because the current cost per capita for the whole US is the highest in the world even though public healthcare only covers a minority of people. If actual universal public healthcare was implemented like in any rich country then healthcare spendings would go down dramatically.

              We already spend more on healthcare per capita than almost every other country.

              More healthcare budget won’t give us universal health care. All we need is the existing budget, plus single payer.

              I think everyone thirteen and older should get government-supplied methamphetamine rations to increase the GDP.

                I think you should take the entire ration of gov supply meth. Oh sheeeeet I believe you already did.

              I think

              There should be less defense budget

              Is the reason tankies brought this post up. They don’t actually give a shit about health care.

          I don’t know much about this topic, but I’m seeing a lot of uncontested claims of “us spends more on healthcare per capita” in this thread, leading me to believe that more money won’t fix the underlying problem.

          Okay, I know that user, and they’re a fuckwit, but they’re right. If you think defense spending is why we don’t have universal health care, you’re extremely uninformed.

          Which is somewhat excusable if you’re not American, but if your are, for shame, my dudes.
