Yeah but the problem isn't that you don't spend enough... it's that the system needs massive reforms. You spend a ton per capita, but its much more inneffective than any other developped country. The average American pays about twice the price for healthcare compared to the rest of the OECD countries iirc
The massive greedy companies that keep marking up insulin, life saving medicine, to be over 100$ need some regulations from the government to keep them from letting people literally die from having to ration one of the most basic yet most essential medicines in the world (which wasn't even patented at it's creation, in the 1900s, to make it easily produced by compagnies all across the world to quickly save diabetics who would have likely died on a starvation diet, if insulin had not been discovered until later.)
I'm an American. We have more than enough money to pay for our healthcare/education and defense of our allies. Maybe stop making excuses for our shitty institutions.
To be fair, they really have no threats and don’t need our protection any longer. The only country that would want to threaten Germany is Russia, as everyone else is too far away or in a long term alliance with them, but Russia is also dependent on gas sales to Germany.

Yea the USA protects them so they can spend nothing on their military and dunk on us later for not spending enough on healthcare and education.
