OK they have national health care right? well why is it ok for us to send them so much money and for them to have national health care but its not ok for us to spend OUR money for US to have national health care?

1. They don't like us thinking of the government as our servant.

And the current big health care money pot would go away.
There are many reasons.

The important point to keep in mind is that the current crop
of political leaders don't care a fig about you, and you ought
to return the favor by voting against them.

2. Its simple hypocrisy

These quotes taken from offical Israeli government website:

Health Care
"Health care for all, from infancy to old age, is ensured by law ..."

The big picture:
"In his Zionist novel, Altneuland (Old New Land, 1902), Herzl pictured the future Jewish state as a socialist utopia."
