2. And over half a million Americans are persistently homeless.

A hundred thousand people in a single town in Michigan are drinking water with enough lead to count as commercially viable ore.

Two hundred thousand Native Americans live on hugely underserviced reservations.

33 million Americans - 10% of the population - do not have healthcare, even with the ACA in place.

But we can throw 40 billion at Israel's military.

3. Large part of why we can't consider things like healthcare as a right, free college,

and a better chance for a quality life for all Americans. Israelis are grateful for our largess no doubt, since their population enjoys things like healthcare as a right.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Health care in Israel is universal and participation in a medical insurance plan is compulsory. All Israeli citizens are entitled to basic health care as a fundamental right. The Israeli healthcare system is based on the National Health Insurance Law of 1995, which mandates all citizens resident in the country to join one of four official health insurance organizations which are run as not-for-profit organizations, and are prohibited by law from denying any Israeli citizen membership.

Rights under the National Health Insurance Law

Every Israeli citizen is entitled to health care services under the National Health Insurance Law.

Every resident has a right to register as a member of an HMO of his/her choice, free of any preconditions or limitations stemming from his/her age or the state of his/her health.

Every resident has a right to receive, via the HMO of which she or he is a member, all of the services included in the medical services basket, subject to medical discretion, and at a reasonable quality level, within a reasonable period of time and at a reasonable distance from his/her home.

Each member has a right to receive the health services while preserving the member’s dignity, privacy and medical confidentiality.

Every Israeli resident has the right to transfer from one HMO to another.

Each member has a right to select the service providers, such as doctors, caregivers, therapists, hospitals and institutes, from within a list of service providers who have entered into an agreement with the HMO to which the member belongs, and within the arrangements in place for the selection of the service providers, and which the HMO publishes from time to time.

Each member has a right to know which hospitals and institutes, and other service providers, are included in the agreement with the HMO, and what are the selection processes at the HMO.

Each member has a right to see and to receive a copy of the HMO regulations.

Each resident has a right to receive from the HMO complete information concerning the payment arrangements in place in the HMO for health services as well as the HMO's plans offered for additional health services (CIP).

Each member has a right to complain with the Public Inquiries commissioner at the medical institute that treated the member, to the person in charge of investigating member complaints at the HMO of which s/he is a member, or to the complaints commissioner for the national health insurance law in the Ministry of Health.

Each member has a right to file suit at the district labor court.

Safety and quality

Israel has one of the most technologically advanced and highest-quality healthcare systems in the world. Hospitals in Israel are equipped with modern facilities and high-quality medical technology. Medical personnel are very well-trained.

Healthcare in Israel is also delivered very efficiently - in an August 2014 survey, it was ranked as having the seventh-most efficient healthcare system in the world.

Medical research

Israel is a world leader in medical and paramedical research, and bioengineering capabilities. Biotechnology, medical, and clinical research account for over half of Israel's scientific publications, and the industrial sector uses this extensive knowledge to develop new pharmaceuticals, medical equipment, and treatment therapies.[50] Among other areas of medicine, Israel is a leader in stem cell research, with the largest number of articles, patents and research studies per capita,[51] as well as research into regenerative medicine and medical marijuana.

4. What exactly does Israel have on us?

Why must we always support Israel no matter what? Why do our billions of dollars go to Israel? No matter what they might do to instigate trouble in that region, we always side with them. Can anyone tell me why this is? I feel like we have been under their thumb for decades. What do we owe them?

[elleng]

8. Nothing but AIPAC.

[NorthCarolina]

12. AIPAC is the largest lobbying group in DC, so some of those tax dollars do come back to the US

in the form of graft for politicians willing to keep the money tap open. So, at least some Americans benefit from those tax dollars sent abroad.

[kacekwl]

13. And yet they treat

our president like shit. Maybe our $$$$$$$$$ should go to countries who support us.

[glowing]

7. Only $76 billion to send kids to college I believe... AND they tell us they have no money?!

[kacekwl]

14. If a political revolution

doesn't work it might be time for the real deal.

[Bucky]

15. Yeah, but a LOT of that is going toward universal healthcare and free college tuition

You really can't have an economically competitive democracy without those things. Why are you anti-semitic?

[MariaThinks]

16. Very good news.
