    Agreed, but financial strain is part of what keeps people from getting care in the USA

    Free healthcare would alleviate some of that

      Agreed, but it’s a vicious cycle.

      It does cost money to provide healthcare. Funding doesn’t come from thin air. But healthcare in the U.S is also ridiculously expensive. A lot of people can’t afford it without insurance (if your insurance even covers what you need). The system needs fixing.

        Americans pay 10x per capita for their healthcare, compared to other countries like the Nordics or Germany. Still, the costs of the war on Iran would have funded public healthcare for all for how long? Decades?
