    What’s sad is how little our country knows of war outside of the US propaganda machine. We spend more on war in one year than the next ten countries combined, and those countries mostly have health care systems that don’t bankrupt their people. Canada, for instance, spends a mere 23 billion a year on war.

    We on the other hand don’t have health care so our country can involve itself in eight or nine wars at once, and our people think it’s a good thing because they can’t form a coherent thought outside of what they’re being told on Fox News, CNN, and MSNBC.

      US spends about as much per capita on healthcare as many other developed countries. The issue is that your insurance companies pocket a lot of it. Be angry at them, not at Ukraine or the weapons going to Ukraine.
