AP count: Nearly 11.8M enroll for Obama health law in 2018

Historically, nations provide prisoners of war with medical care in the hopes that their opponent will do the same in return. Historically, this has rarely been the case. Countless millions have died as prisoners of war, and you seem smart enough to know this so I'm not sure why we're discussing it. Even in the event that medical care is provided, the most valuable result isn't a healthier soldier. The result is a second wave of uncaptured soldiers who are all the more willing to risk themselves. The agreement to treat wounded isn't a philosophical one - It's economical. Solders are needed to risk their lives and often die for their nation's cause. Getting a soldier to do this more readily is half the battle.

That highlights my point well, though. This isn't a philosophical debate. This is economical. What costs more? That's it. That's the only question. What costs more?
