This just isn’t true. Our healthcare system isn’t bad because we’re cheap. Or because the Pentagon sucks up all the money. We already spend more on healthcare than the military and it’s not close! The truth is that we’re getting ripped off! In fact, Medicare for All would be cheaper and we’d have more money for bombs.
Medicare Advantage alone costs more than the Army and the Navy. The whole Medicare program is slightly bigger than the entire Pentagon. Add in Social Security, Medicaid, and the VA, and if anything, the military starts to look like a real bargain.
The USA spends more tax dollars per capita on health care than any other country. And then people have to buy insurance and pay out of pocket on top of that.
If the USA just magically cloned any public healthcare system in the world they would save billions in tax dollars and insurance and out-of-pocket health costs would disappear.
