Practically all of western europe view health care as a right. They view their citizens as resources that has the potential to earn capital. A healthy and educated country has proven to be successful time and time again. I observed between all these arguments, it's either for capitalism or against. This makes zero sense to me considering a country like Switzerland, one of the most capitalist countries in the world, has a socialized health care system. With combination of efforts from the private health care, as well as the government providing more medicare, I cannot see why there isn't viable solution.

I'd rather pay for someones health care than a few soldiers "vacations" to be posted in Germany for a few years. Or their living expenses. Or tax benefits. The only money soldiers are bring in is government spending for defense contracts. Otherwise they are the same type of burden as citizens would when it comes to health care.
