      US government spends more per capital on healthcare than all those nations with fancy universal healthcare.

        twice as much, per capita, in fact. and the u.s. fails to cover everyone or everything that should be (like it is elsewhere at half the cost).

          The US some how manages to spend more on public healthcare per person than countries with universal coverage, then spends even more that that on private healthcare on top.

          That’s the feature of the system kinda like the homeless… Plebs need to fear the consequences of non compliance with the jail house rules.

        Oh but you need to consider the overall spending on healthcare, not per-capita. That would be around 100-10000 times more than any other cointry. /s
        Also I hope that its clear that spending money on healthcare while not providing healthcare does not make it any better.

      I think the point is not so much that the US should be giving more, but that Trump’s constant complaining the the world owes the US and that the US is the only country so overburdened by spending on foreign aid is bullshit.

      Also, I don’t think per capita expenditures automatically increase for smaller populations.

        lord diaper sees any foreign spending that isn’t promoting his string-puller’s agenda as being a waste–because that money could be flowing to him and his comrades instead.

          That and it’s more convenient scapegoating of “those dang foreigners”.
