By that I mean American citizenship carries with it (a birth right) access to catastrophic and needed health care. I don't think you can have any natural rights to having something done for you. fee.org This does not mean we give up on employer financed insurance and tax advantaged health care savings accounts and the like. If that state is providing the health care than why do you need these? Well I suppose you do if the state provider does a poor job, which I imagine they would. If we have enough wealth to help Iraqiis build a better Iraq, we have enough wealth to build a better America. The policies you are calling for would make for a worse America. Also the costs are in no way comparable. An enforcible legal right to health care paid for and perhaps provided by the government would have costs that make the spending in Iraq seem tiny.
