Thinking about most of the countries in Africa a question comes to mind, what is the difference between national health care and no national health care when the country has no doctors and medical facilities? Answer: There is no difference.

Ya lost me here. You're comparing China and most African nations to our paying for national health care in Iraq and Afghanistan why? Are you saving there are no doctors in either country? Because I keep seeing news reports of people going to the hospitals there all the time. Just last week I saw a report on the BBC about some disabled kid in Iraq getting an operation to restore his hearing. According to the map I used that means the US tax payers likely paid the cost of that op.
I find it ironic that the kid in Iraq gets US paid health care while many kids in the US do not. In fact I don't really find it ironic as much as it flat out pisses me off.
