The USA has immense wealth in natural resources. The oil and natural gas under our land belong to our citizens, and we could nationalize the treasure instead of continuing to deal it off to mega corporations.
We might use the revenues to finance free health care and free education through university for the people. Saddam Hussein did that for the Iraqis beginning in 1972. And why not? Citizens depend on the federal government to defend them from danger, foreign and domestic - protection is a right.
How about health care?
It's all so simple.

OUR NATURAL RESOURCES
In the month of March, 2009, the President of the United States cancelled 77 drilling leases in the oil-rich shale of Utah because the sites were within a mile of national park land.
Pffft...a 200-year-or-more-supply of oil...pffft.
Our U.S.A. is one of the most self-sufficient nations with vast treasures of natural resources, but we choose to meddle everywhere on Earth, preferring importing to exporting, while our pushy corporations pull the strings.
We are able - if not willing - to mine and drill and sell ourselves back into prominence - "the City on the Hill."
It's all so simple.
