"The US has been giving money to Israel for many years. The total of direct US aid the US has given to Israel is around 108 billion dollars. And that doesn't count all of the hidden ways we give money to Israel, such as guaranteed loans, which Israel has never once paid back. That's a lot of money and we need it. Israel doesn't. If we had that money now, we would be able to provide health care to people in the US. The war in Iraq could be considered a kind of financial aid to Israel as well, since many Israeli and Zionist leaders see the war in Iraq as being strategically important to Israel."

I seem to have misunderstood. The above poster didn't even imply that Israel had anything to do with lack of free/affordable health care in the US.
