7. It's an idea to drive home the importance of health care for all Americans...
We don't have a military for just some Americans. It's not a military where only the rich are entitled to its use to protect them. The military is to defend ALL Americans, regardless of their ability to pay. So why isn't health care considered equally as the military to defend us ALL against the enemy of disease or accident? I don't know why no one is using this basic argument in defense of health care for all.

The military isn't a 'privilege' and neither should health care. They are basic human rights.
