      Consequently, they will find out soon why Americans don’t have universal healthcare…

      And why do you think that is?

          That would be what I assumed they were getting at too, but it doesn’t really pass the sniff test. The US spends more on healthcare (both per capita and as a percentage of GDP) than any country with universal healthcare-- by switching to a universal single-payer system, they could free up more money to spend on war.

          Americans don’t have universal healthcare because that would mean insurance companies make less money.

      We don’t have healthcare because there’s profits to be made by exploiting our needs. It honestly has nothing to do with the military.
