So...yeah, I'm pretty sure people would be able to afford health insurance (and a load of other things) with that money. Oh, and the military budget and the cost of wars are completely different things.
Hell, just one of my surgeries costs 10,000+ of that (The average MTF cost was about $10,400, and the average FTM surgery (including top and, for those who had it, bottom surgery) was about $17,900. <--- http://www.tgender.net/taw/thbcost.html )...
But yes, Tiberius: I was being intentionally silly

Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
