The same 'logic' about "inequitability" should have applied to the DOD whose members enjoy free healthcare.
In fact, our Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, and Marines are the only Americans who understand universal healthcare, as enjoyed by hundreds of millions of people in Israel, Germany, Canada, Cuba, Taiwan, tiny Albania, or Denmark, as did our US Merchant Mariners from 1798 to 1981.
"OK, Doc, thanks for fixing me up. My arm feels a lot better. What do I owe you?"
"What did you say, Ensign? Take this prescription to the pharmacy for your free painkillers."

Good-for-nothing sycophant Todd Blanche to Judge Tomoko Akane, President of the International Criminal Court (ICC):

Accordingly, the ICC has no jurisdiction over Americans " anywhere in the world " and any attempt to assert such authority is illegitimate, unlawful, and a direct affront to the sovereignty of the United States."

If the US is not a party to the Rome Statute, why did they send Special Counsel Jack Smith for a tour at the Hague to prosecute international war criminals?
Moreover, the nefarious Trumpf junta unethically put sanctions on members of the ICC, making their lives miserable. One of the ICC prosecutors was allegedly caught in an Israeli honeypot trap to discredit him and another prosecutor was intimidated by the sinister former Mossad director Yossi Cohen.
