Little men from Mars are controlling Donald Trump. I know it's true because I read it on the Internet. *yawn*

I'm not so sure about Iraq now, maybe during the initial invasion and a little after that, but Afghanistan is definitely getting US aid for it's healthcare system, as it should be getting.

About 99% of what "American taxpayers" are paying for they should not be paying for.

You should add to your title Israel - which not only has universal healthcare, but legalized abortion. And conservatives say it is a Christinan duty to provide monetary aid to Israel (to the tune of $3 billion/year).

Israel only receives military funding from the US as welfare for the military sector of the US. Israelis pay for their healthcare through taxation. Their country, their rules on what their healthcare system pays for.

As Speaker Ron Ryan said, the money is fungible.

That $3 billion in military funding is $3 billion less they have to spend in other areas of their national budget, like universal healthcare.

Ron?? Who is Ron? Paul Ryan maybe? And you're trying to connect Planned Parenthood to Israeli Healthcare?

Let's say this again; Israelis pay a Healthcare Tax in addition to their government taxes.
