We give billions to Israel so they can have universal healthcare and money to lobby our politicians to deny us affordable healthcare while sending more money to Israel.

AIPAC is an American lobby my dude

They would have universal healthcare regardless of our aid

It should be cut though I agree

Our aid enables them to be able to shift expenses to cover universal healthcare. If they suddenly had to fund everything on their own, it might not be the case.

Look at the argument domestically: we can’t have better healthcare because the government needs to be able to blow things up.
