we spend on so-called 'national security'? With so many American dying for lack of HC, it IS a National Security problem.

As I understand it, National Security means 'keeping Americans safe'. We are in more danger of dying from lack of HC than anything else. Since 9/11 eg, one half million Americans have died as a result of not having HC. THAT is a National Security problem.
