    I agree with that vague statement but that’s not what Rob is saying. He’s saying rather than fund Ukraine we should heal our people. I agree about healing our people, but we can do it both by amending healthcare laws to not run the industry for profit.

    No qualitative service (such as healthcare, housing, education, etc.) should be run with a quantitative strategy, because the focus turns from providing an effective service to being profitable. The correct answer is to end privatized healthcare and pay it out of our taxes like these other nations Rob alludes to in the article. Healthcare and Education are every bit as important as a strong Military, border or travel infrastructure.

    If we did that there would be no problem funding Ukraine and keeping our citizens healthy.

    If we were to just divert Ukraine funds to Healthcare affordability it wouldn’t even make a dent in the amount of healthcare debt the American people have.

    • Americans are $220B in Healthcare debt
    • We have provided Ukraine with $75B to date.

    So Rob’s plan is unsustainable, weakens Ukraine’s stance against Putin’s aggression and still doesn’t solve the root cause of our healthcare problems.
