Could cost of war help American helth insurance instead of destroying IRAQ AND Afghanistan?

Question

American spent more then trillions of dollars but health is still big problem for Americans.

Answer 1

There are two big problems with your reasoning.  First, much of the money spent in Iraq and Afghanistan has been spent in rebuilding infrastructure (much of it destroyed before wartime, by Taliban and Saddam) - like roads, schools, electical plants, clean water plants, hospitals, etc.  So to say it was spent "destroying" them is pretty inaccurate and narrow-minded.  

Secondly, I for one don't want to see government tax money spent on universal health care, putting health care under government control.  Not a good use of my tax money, that's for sure.

Answer 2

The cost of the war on terror could go a long way in solving numerous concerns in this country - unfortunately, our previous policies of essentially ignoring the Islamic terrorists' tactics and threads arguably led to the events of 9/11.

They had to be confronted, there's really no question about that.

Answer 3

Not really.

Universial health insurance would cost the US about 1.5 trillion a year.

Spending on the war in iraq and Afghanistan, is around 100 billion a year.

Answer 4

1. More money is not the answer - we need to regulate the health care industry and reign in lawyers - medical insurance for doctors is outrageous because of frivolous lawsuits.

2. If people want health care and they have a full time job I agree we should have some sort of health insurance for them - but if they don't have full time employment - WHY SHOULD HARD WORKING AMERICANS WHO DO WORK FULL TIME AND PAY FOR THEIR OWN HEALTH INSURANCE HAVE TO SUPPORT THEM?  I believe it is call SOCIALISM - and I am against it.

3. The government is NOT here to pay for all of your needs - it is up to you to do that. Wealth re-allocation is NOT constitutional - that is what the Brits were doing to us.. taking our money in taxes and not giving us anything but redcoats for it.

Answer 6

The Patriotic party knows a way to win in both occasions. Since this country thrives on war then we must turn this country into a war time economy, creating more jobs, health insurance will be more affordable because the jobs wont be as dangerous and will we have better equipment meaning NO MORE DEAD SOLDIERS at least not as much.

Answer 7

Civic Currency could also pay for American Health Care. Currency by citizens through photo shop ,recycled paper,lasers to cut out currency.

Worker Currency designs.

Answer 8

It could but as it turns out now, we really pay for health insuranc efor others, cars, teachers,firemen,police,govt workers ,utility workers, insurance companies, its all part of our cost ,everyone but those people busting buns to not have it

We also pay education its a good thing and it would be good for this country if we had healthy people too.  Then they would not end up on welfare when they cant work  

Answer 9

Yes.

And as for the reasons why people should think about paying for it, look at the death rate for American children aged under five.

Despite more money being spent on healthcare in the USA PER PERON than any other nation in the world, the USA has one of the highest death rates for kids aged under five in the industrialised world.

If you want to be proud of America's standing in the world, bear that in mind.

Answer 10

Americans are so dumb they pick Bush twice what there left to tell, media playing with Americans who would pick Bush twice.

the answer of this question is United States could spend money in united states and help Americans with their health. Why we need insurance if united states just build hospitals and charge $20 per visit from who ever come there for check up.
