If healthcare were treated like defense spending, we’d never ask, “Can we afford to save them?”
We’d just do it.
Funny how that works.

War budget: “Whatever it takes.”
Healthcare budget: “Let’s circle back next fiscal year.”
One keeps people alive. Guess which one gets audited.
“Sorry, that procedure isn’t covered.”
Cool. Is dying covered, or is that out-of-network too?
🚨Breaking:
The richest country on Earth still doing GoFundMe for chemotherapy.
But don’t worry… the bombs are fully covered.
We can fund missiles in minutes…
but insulin needs prior authorization, three denials, and a sacrifice to the insurance gods.
Totally functioning system.
Budgets reveal values.
Right now, we’re saying destruction is urgent…
and care can wait.
That’s backwards.
Imagine if we treated healthcare like defense:
No hesitation. No excuses. Just funding it.
We already know how to do this. We just… don’t.
5/6
A strong nation shouldn’t have citizens afraid of going to the doctor.
If getting care feels like a financial risk, something is deeply broken.
