US Funds Israeli Bombs While Americans Brace For Healthcare Ruin
The Financial Times warns of 'a full-blown crisis' as Americans brace for a surge in healthcare costs, with states like West Virginia at the 'epicentre' of rising insurance premiums. This perfectly timed public concern arrives just as Congress continues to greenlight billions in military aid abroad. While your copay goes up, President Biden just approved another $14.5 billion in 'supplemental aid'
for Israel, (Congressional Record 2024, HR 7217), a nation with universal healthcare funding. (Seriously, they have it.) One might wonder: how many Americans could afford critical cancer treatments or life-saving insulin if their elected representatives prioritized domestic health over perpetual conflict funding? The 'crisis' isn't just rising costs; it's the bipartisan consensus that showering
foreign militaries with cash is more essential than keeping citizens alive. Perhaps the 'full-blown crisis' is actually the selective amnesia of our politicians when it comes to American welfare versus overseas adventures.
