We can't afford it. Some people like Michael Moore say that we should just divert funding for the war toward Socialized Medicine, but the fact of the matter is is that we can't afford the war either. We are already borrowing money to finance a lot of the dumb programs already in place. Government spending is out of control, and we need to exercise budget restraint now, not consider new areas to increase spending.

What part of 300 million people do you idiots not understand. Just because someoine is paying taxes does not mean they are not putting more than they are taking out. Unlike many of those european countries, we have areas of permanent burdens known here as Ghettos. You will see the money quickly drain when gangsters with no job keep getting shot and treated. If your solution is to not treat them, then your statement that it helps everyone is false.
