The reasons for why Americans don't have healthcare just keep getting dumber.
Americans don't have healthcare because their masters don't want them to have it, not because the money is being spent elsewhere.
The US has one of the world's highest per capita public spendings on healthcare and the highest private. There are more money per capita in the American healthcare system than in any other system in human history. The money is there already. What is lacking is political will to make these money go towards actual healthcare instead of grifts, corruption and rent extraction.
It's a reference to a genre of tweet that was floating around back when the blockade started. After the US announced that it was deploying a carrier group to the area, some very confident idiots posted "[Ansarallah] is about to find out why Americans don't have free healthcare." And they sure did, but probably not in the manner the posters intended.
