at a high enough level of politics, it practically doesn’t matter whether “there’s enough money to do something”. for example, federal politics could just tax more stuff to spend more money but it doesn’t, because it doesn’t want to. it’s not an issue of affordability. it’s all about the philosophical angle/viewpoint that they have.
also to answer your question, the government wants N (where N is a number) soldiers. if they pay your healthcare without you having to risk your life for that, how many people do you think would still sign up as soldiers? probably fewer than N.
