          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.

          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.

          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.

      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.

      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.
