You seem to be making a weird connection here, but maybe I misunderstand you.
Are you truly suggesting that countries who have socialized health care do so because they've been affected by war on their territory at some point?
I seem to recall John Cleese or some other british person suggesting that the NHS was a given after so many had been through ww2. Wikipedia[1] on the NHS suggests the same, through quotes by politicians.
