National defence is a need not a want. Our health care system isn't underfunded, it is being dragged down by bureaucracy. Our system is in the top ten percentile for publicly funded systems but it performs in the 70 percentile. That shows the problem isn't funding, it is much larger than that. To say we need more money in health care and less on defence is just an uneducated statement.
