The presumption is that the war will end and the money flow stop. With healthcare it will be an unending cost. Also, wars are expected to "wind down" and cost less in the out years. Healthcare will only increase in cost.
One is left arguing the reality of those presumptions. This country has been "at war" in one sense or another more than it has not. We lose track of all the wars, some so small as to not be noticed in history. And the argument I find so frustrating is that:
1) We already have publicly funded healthcare, in many forms really.
2) The single largest purchaser of healthcare, privately or otherwise, is the US government.
3) Any private company of 1/10th the size of the US government would be "self insured", why not the government itself.
4) Any company buying that much of a product would ensure it could leverage its purchasing power in ALL of its purchases.
5) The only way to control the cost is to control the purchase.
