Just think what you pay for the cost of building, maintaining, manning and equipping eight aircraft carriers and their escort for twenty years to prepare for imagined threats. Then, we can talk about cost of health care for all to prepare for reality.
When you lose your job, your insurance and you or your wife get a hospital bill I hope you think of my silly comment.
I’ll tell you what, friend. We’ll worry about spending OUR money on “imagined threats” and you keep your focus on what your cowardly country is going to run from next.
Buzz off.
I don't know what country you are from, Cardhu. But the fact that the US has been in a position to defend the free world for 50 years has given other countries the luxury of spending little money on defence. Soon other countries will not have that luxury. Nor will they have the US as the economic engine of the world, the destination of higher education seekers and professional employees, the escape valve for the Canadian and foreign wealthy from the restrictions of their own socialist health systems, and the beneficiary of innovation and entrepreneurialism. All that is declining and will continue to decline more, as it has in Britain. And the world will not be better off for it.

Imagined threats eh. Yes the world is full of friendly, helpful people.
Imagined threats? Only in your tunnel vision, pal. I sure in he~~ believe our country needs to be ready at all times to defend itself and go to the aid of the persecuted in other countries when asked for help.
I've yet to hear of any American being denied health care because they are not insured. U.S. taxpayers are charged even with covering some of the costs of illegal aliens who have broken our laws by not waiting in line to be admitted.
Our health care system can and should be improved but a government takeover is a terrible solution.
