Explain to me why Americans can’t have single payer because “ToO eXpENsIve”
But we can fund Israel’s single payer no problem.
This is why I wish “America First” wasn’t a racist dogwhistle.

Money is substitutable. It’s laughable when politicians earmark funds for only a specific purpose or only provide supplies and equipment.
If those are things that the recipient would otherwise spend money to buy, then you’re supporting whatever other things they end up spending the money to buy.

Does America fund Israel 's healthcare?
No. Military in-kind assistance only since 2007. Before that, substantial financial assistance from 1971 to 2007.

I believe it does, I think I remember reading that somewhere, but it would have been years ago, so I wouldn’t be comfortable betting my life on that.
Edit: Okay apparently we did up until 2007
