When we spend as much as we do on debt and war, why grouse about health costs?

Gov't: Health tab to hit $4.6 trillion in 2020 - Yahoo! News: "WASHINGTON (AP) — The nation's health care tab is on track to hit $4.6 trillion in 2020, accounting for about $1 of every $5 in the economy, government number crunchers estimate in a report out Thursday."

When you understand that one fifth goes for health care, is that too much? Really. I think that military spending is too much. That tax loopholes for corporations are too much. That interest on the debt is too much. But one fifth for health is downright reasonable.
