I think a population's health is just as important to its well-being as its defense.

But maybe the F-22 was a bad example. Let's use public schools. I don't have a kid. Does that mean I shouldn't have to pay the federal/state/local taxes that fund public schools? Why should I have to pay for some other kid's education?

You can't say that a program should only be paid for by those who use it when the entire reason the program exists is because the people who will use it can't afford to pay for it.
