Costa Rica purposefully got rid of its military so it could provide services. It didn’t feel a need to fund three unnecessary wars in two years.

Guess which other country has universal healthcare - China. They are just slightly more populous than the US.

> This isn’t some mechanism that the US just refuses to use. It’s a matter of scale. You either don’t know and should remain silent on the topic, or do know it and lack the honor to not state it.

China does have a military…

Maybe you should take your own advice. Every other country in the world seems to have figured this out.

Please stop spreading lies and propaganda. China does not have "universal healthcare" in any meaningful sense. They may claim to have it, but it's not something that poor people can actually access for expensive treatments. Patients have to pay out of pocket for most services.
