What if?

Yesterday I was having a discussion with my friend's parents about the healthcare system. They were praising the western world but scorning the healthcare system in US. I have my share of horror stories with the healthcare system, who doesnt, but here is the question that popped in my head. Mr. Bush, for whatever reasons is sinking all our tax dollars and more in a fight that has Vietnam written all over it. Now what if that money was spent on healthcare. Reminds me of the dialog from the movie, American President, "We have real problems and we need real people to solve it".
