We spend more on health care than any other nation on earth, yet have some of the worst health outcomes. Our infant mortality rate is higher than many third world countries. Some form of "single-payer" works for every other industrialized nation. 53% of every tax dollar goes to a blood-bloated military that couldn't even protect us from 19 guys with boxcutters. That's where the real burden on the taxpayers falls. If we reallocated just half of the military's wasteful spending we could defend our citizens from the real threat of untreated disease, homelessness, and provide free college for our citizens so they'd be better able to provide for themselves. The military can't even account for several trillion dollars they've spent. Why are you not outraged about Pentagon waste and theft? At least 24,000 Americans die every year from lack of health care. 3,000 died on 9/11 and we've spent ~$7 trillion fighting that threat. Why not spend proportionately on the greater threat that kills more?
