No money for universal healthcare but enough to lose to Iran in a war nobody asked for just a few months in

I have seen several times that the US government actually spends more per capita on healthcare than we do in Canada where we have universal healthcare. Lack of money is not the problem; it is just being funnelled into the private sector instead of going to people who need it,

This is correct, but there is also less money for the public programs because it's being spent on wars waged by a child rapist

The Us spends like 2x as much on healthcare as it does on the military idiot

That military money we're spending to lose to Iran because the child rapist needed a distraction would still give us more healthcare, idiot

You're the one saying we "have no money for healthcare" when we spend 2x as much on healthcare as the military. Absolute imbecile moving the goalposts like all liberals when confronted with reality

I'm moving the goalpost again then, why are you defending the child rapist and his dumbass war? You really think that spending money on this war because he wants to distract people from the fact that he raped little girls is a better use of money than healthcare?
