Reason infinity for why health care funding shouldn't be one of the first on the chopping block.  It should be one of the last.  Even if you don't believe there's a moral or constitutional imperative (I do on both accounts, but I'm a pinko...), there's economic incentive (economies of scale, the fact prevention is cheaper than treatment, and preparedness is cheaper than haphazard emergency response), and there's certainly something to be said for a duty to effectively defend against invisible threats to our national well-being.
