Original Note:
While the US military budget was $773 billion in 2023, a free healthcare for all system is estimated to cost $3.2 trillion per year. Even if the U.S. ceased all military spending, this would only provide funds for 1/4 the cost of free healthcare. https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(20)30857-6/fulltext https://comptroller.defense.gov/Portals/45/Documents/defbudget/FY2023/FY2023_Budget_Request_Overview_Book.pdf
