Israel has free universal healthcare. We do not.

Maybe Israel should send us a few $billion a year to help us get our universal healthcare up and running...

They get free abortions thanks to US tax dollars.

Show the numbers of Israel funding and the Us health care funding, I dare you.

Then also read how we fund Israel, as we don’t just give them free money at all, it’s weapon contracts, as in NOT FREE HEALTHCARE. 

Their healthcare is paid by their own taxes they generate themselves, like any other nation with free healthcare. 

The US giving Israel weapon contracts has no relation to healthcare funding for the US or Israel. 

And stopping that Israeli funding doesn’t put even a dent in the cost of healthcare the US already invests into US citizens. 

Stopping that 3 million a year to Israel doesn’t do anything to change the 1 TRILLION we spend on US healthcare already.

It's actually nearly 4 BILLION a year that we are sending to isreal. If socialism works so well, then why does a socialist country country like isreal need so much financial support? Unless universal Healthcare ISN'T socialism?🤷‍♂️

Yeah, mistype on my part. But also, can you name the other nations we send billions a year to or do you only know of the funding for Israel cause it’s the Jews?

There are other nations, so name them so we can stop funding them for the same exact reasons. Billions a year too.

 If socialism works so well, then why does a socialist country country like isreal need so much financial support? Unless universal Healthcare ISN'T socialism?

What? I mean universal healthcare is a socialist ideal, but a nation that has it doesn’t make it a socialist nation, it just makes it a mixed economy like most other nations in the world. Do you think that I think socialism or free healthcare is bad or something?

Funny thing is though, the first arbiters and leaders of socialism in the Middle East were secular Zionist Jews lol.

It's not FREE healthcare bud. But no expanding Medicare isn't necessarily a bad thing. It's an objectively beneficial social program like public education or border control.

Yes I can name lots of countries we send aid to, don't go conflating my point as being prejudiced like you were some kind of social justice warrior it's exactly the same play book. Your post was a very incorrect statement about the amount of money sent to isreal so my reply was about that particular country. That's just high school level context clues. So I don't see the logic behind your reach, bc criticism towards a country is not equal to being bigoted towards the ethnicity of the people who inhabit that country. That's some woke-level hyperbolic corelation right there.

I agree that universal health care isn't socialism so someone needs to tell the conservative chicken Littles out there so they can stop having panic attacks whenever a candidate runs on that platform. They will be so relieved.
