The White House hopes that a "one-and-done" funding package will bypass the deadlock with congressional Republicans and free up enough aid for Ukraine to last until the 2024 presidential election.
The US has almost unlimited dollars for anything we want to spend it on. The problem is that people can profit off of sending shit to ukraine, but no one makes any money from a proper healthcare system.
The US healthcare system is hugely profitable - for the the insurance industry at least. As you say, the problem is not money available, so the amount sent to ukraine is irrelevant to the healthcare industry.
Idk about that. A healthy population seems like it would be great for the economy to me.
People can work at a higher standard for more of their lives. If we take into mental health, those hours worked will probably be a lot more productive too.
The nation as a whole becomes more wealthy yes, but the status quo makes a much smaller portion of the population much richer. So who is to say whether the current system is bad or good?
No money for healthcare though.
The US seems to have plenty of money for healthcare, about twice as much as most other developed nations.
You just have a shitty way of spending that money.

There never was. So this changes nothing.
Right, same as it ever was.
Endless money for war. No money for people.
