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!
most of its being subsidized by govt, via insurance companies its just that people never benefit from thsoe taxes paid, via through medical procedures, hospitals, medication that are from private corporations. besides they have low cost health insurance for service members, which is universal(tricare),
medicaid/care is the govt already negotatited prices(which should be the norm) that keeps cost low. besides other countries also have private healthcare if the public version is too slow. you can have both.
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.
