    Consequently, they will find out soon why Americans don’t have universal healthcare…

    And why do you think that is?

        That would be what I assumed they were getting at too, but it doesn’t really pass the sniff test. The US spends more on healthcare (both per capita and as a percentage of GDP) than any country with universal healthcare-- by switching to a universal single-payer system, they could free up more money to spend on war.

        Americans don’t have universal healthcare because that would mean insurance companies make less money.
