The year before the pandemic health spending was 11.5% of GDP so at best you can argue the government spent one percent more because of the pandemic.
Not sure what your questions are.
Are we currently in a war? No
And I’m not debating the effectiveness of the gun band(even though now I can't really use my
nightforce optics with anything). I was just replying to your comment, which I always hear, we should spend more on healthcare.
But nobody ever says we should raise taxes to spend more on healthcare, or we should spend less on the on the following items in order to spend more on healthcare.
We already spent one of every ten dollar on healthcare.
How much more money do you think we should dedicated to healthcare?
Should we spent 25% of our entire GDP on healthcare?
As a reference, in 2019 in Finland, Sweden and Norway, where people argue they have a fantastic universal healthcare system, they spent 9% of their GDP on health care.
They also spend more as a percent of GDP on national defense.
Maybe spending more money on the health care system isn’t the answer.
