Defense is 20% of he budget.

Direct health care in the for of Medicare and Medicaid is closer to 33% and that doesn't include figures for the VA NIH CDC and WIC programs.

When defense gets down to about 10% and health care gets up to about 50%, let me know will ya?

Why should defense get less than healthcare?

Defense is the origional purpose of the government , health care is optinoal for the government .

Once the government has a monopoly on health care will there be any other option for persons who do not like the governments style of healthcare?

My priorities are a little more positive and conducive to life.

Apparently all of yours want our representative government to be in the death business.

We just disagree.  That's all.

Yes, I am in the government death dealing business.

The government does this well, civilian controll of the government is a good idea so that the government has some limit on how often it uses this ability.

Government healthcare will introduce additional government control of the people , not as good idea as the reverse.

Actually, providing for the common defense is one of the best life saving means & highest priorities we could possibly invest in.  Obviously you disagree.  So, by all means, amend that damn in-the-way Constitution
