I partially agree. I think we spend a ridiculous amount in foreign aid, however part of the problem with health care IS the governmental interference. Vendors can charge whatever they want to because Medicare will pay for it, which is one of the largest reasons why supplies are so expensive. Secondly, we have the most restrictive regulation on drugs in the world, which makes drugmaking extremely expensive, thirdly we need caps on lawsuits. Fixing all of those would fix our health care problems. Government run health care hasn't worked anywhere. Our system USED to work before the government got to it.
