    It’s a myth that the US could fund it’s healthcare if it didn’t fund the military. This is because we already spend more on healthcare than the military already. By a lot.

    Medicare alone has a similar budget to the entire Pentagon!

    We’re not too cheep for healthcare, we’re getting ripped off!

      We spend more on health care per person and have worse outcomes than any country in the global north.

      That has a lot to do with privatizing all our medical facilities and wasting a ton of money through private insurance.

      We spend more on healthcare than the government spends on the military, the government does not.
