Poll Finds Americans Worried About Healthcare, Not $14 Billion Overseas
“Six in ten Americans are concerned about higher health costs,” The Hill reports , a figure that's apparently shocking to... no one. What is shocking is the media's framing of this as an isolated domestic struggle, conveniently ignoring the legislative priorities that extract billions from the very taxpayers suffering. For instance, in April alone, Congress sent another $14 billion in aid to
Israel , a nation with universal healthcare. While Americans grapple with prescription prices and deductibles, House Speaker Mike Johnson proudly announced the foreign aid package, which he championed just weeks after receiving significant backing from the pro-Israel lobby, including $259,600 from AIPAC-related PACs for the 2024 cycle . One might charitably wonder how 'concerned' 535 members of
Congress actually are about *your* health costs when their legislative to-do list consistently prioritizes sending your tax dollars abroad ahead of single-payer or even moderating drug prices. It appears the nation's financial priorities are somewhat... misaligned with its citizens' wallets.
