I’d rather have universal health care than spend a trillion dollars every year policing ten other countries

The US spends more per-capita on healthcare than almost every other country. Making sure a free nation isn't overrun by Russian invaders is not the reason the US healthcare system sucks.

Correction: The US spends more per-capita lining the pockets of health insurance execs than every other country.

Exactly The idea we should allow a free nation to fall to Russian invaders, just so we can throw extra money at health insurance executives, is laughable.
