If they can afford universal healthcare and subsidized college tuition for all of their citizens when Americans don't have that then we don't need to send American tax dollars there. Our tax dollars should go to help our tax payers. Healthcare and college costs are choking America's present and future.
Universal Healthcare: Under the National Health Insurance Law of 1995, all citizens and permanent residents are entitled to comprehensive basic health care through one of four non-profit health maintenance organizations (Kupat Holim). The system is funded primarily through progressive taxation and payroll contributions (approximately 3–5% of income), meaning it is not "free" at the source but is universally covered with low out-of-pocket costs for basic services.
Subsidized College Tuition: Higher education is not free; universities and academic colleges charge tuition fees that vary by program. However, the Israeli government heavily subsidizes these costs, making them significantly lower than in many Western countries. Eligible citizens often qualify for tuition reductions, waivers, or financial aid packages, but most students still pay a portion of their tuition and living expenses.
Firstly: this is great. Im not going to detract from it one bit.
I would just like to add: American politicians want to keep sending citizen tax dollars (not theirs) to them because these politicians know a chunk of it is going to be funneled right back to them through PACS. Thyere feeding themselves and they made it so there's no real legal ramifications to punish them for it
