#316 Canada's Healthcare and US Military Spending

#AATWD And Another Thing With Dave, by Dave Smith In this episode: Part 5 of 7 in a conversation with J Mac from Canada. The conversation between Dave J Mac is about the differences between the Canadian and American healthcare systems. In Canada, they pay around $5,400 per person for taxes, and the government regulates the prices of drugs, allowing them to buy in bulk and get lower prices. In the USA, people pay around $11,000 per capita, and the healthcare system is run like a business with extra middlemen and higher costs. They are the only industrialized nation without universal health care, and their prescription drug costs are much higher than other countries. Michael Moore highlighted this issue in one of his documentaries, showing the difference in prices for the same drug. J Mac pointed out that the US spends money on other nations, but not out of the goodness of their hearts, but because it benefits their economy and military industrial complex. Joe Biden's budget for the military was 800 billion and it's been going up 60 billion a year regardless of who the president is. The US could easily afford health care for everyone if they took a fraction of the military budget. The reason why the US doesn't have universal health care Thanks for listening.
