Then what is the function of the government if not to care and provide for it's citizens?
Going to war in the name of "National Security" is no different than spending money on health care. In theory both exist to serve the same means. I really don't understand how you can say you need to keep your citizens safe and ignore that people are dying or living a harder life because they didn't get the proper treatment because they couldn't afford it.
Argue as you will, but if you ignore or deny this correlation you are missing something and need to reevaluate the situation and step outside of your own shoes for a minute.
