I mean, our money is funding this war instead of our own health care,

USian, I presume. You already spend as many federal tax payer dollars, per capita, on healthcare as the UK pays for the NHS, per capita. You're just not getting the results because you rather bail out hospitals providing ER treatment for people who can't pay than letting those same people visit the doctor once a year for free so that their condition doesn't become an emergency. Granted, the NHS is underfunded, but if you'd take say 5% of what Americans pay for health insurance and add it to the sum you have quite a bit to work with.

Don't try to justify your lack of moral fibre when it comes to standing up to fascists with your dysfunctional politics, that's not the flex you think it is.
