The US already has a higher per capita governmental spend on socialised medicine than any country not named switzerland that has universal healthcare. If you add in the private money people spend on top of that it dwarfs the per capita money in the system of every country. It has nothing to do with defense spending or allocating money to other causes. The money is already there if they cared to do away with the profit margins and insurance lobby. But they don't.
