“Healthcare not Warfare” – that was the title of a program put on by Physicians for Social Responsibility, Whole Washington, and Health Care for All-Washington on July 27 at the Spokane Central Library. The presenters highlighted numerous facts important for Spokanites to understand, including that the U.S. spends more on its military than the next nine countries combined (about $920.8 billion in 2023). It’s no coincidence that all of these other countries have universal health care with far better outcomes than our profit-first “system.”
