Healthcare for All? Not While Congress Prioritizes Wars
Mainstream media's latest 'shocking' revelation? Obamacare subsidies expired, sending premiums skyrocketing for millions. The Hill dutifully covers the story, presenting it as an unfortunate federal oversight, not a choice. Meanwhile, Congress seems to find endless billions for other, less-domestic priorities. For context, in 2024 alone, the US allocated $3.3 billion in security assistance to
Israel, a figure championed by numerous politicians who simultaneously feign concern for constituents battling rising healthcare costs.

While families face agonizing choices between insulin and rent, the national conversation—as driven by outlets like The Hill —rarely connects these dots. It seems a
functioning healthcare system for US citizens is a luxury, but maintaining military hegemony and funding foreign conflicts? That's a 'must-have' budget item, regardless of the domestic toll. The irony is so thick, you could choke on it—much like many Americans can't afford their next prescription.
