    Mate, the US is directly funding all of Ukraine’s civil service. We pay for their police, firefighters, ambulances, etc.

    If an uninsured person in America needs an ambulance ride, they will get a $1300 bill (on average).

    If any person in Ukraine needs an ambulance ride, dont worry it’s free of charge, Uncle Sam got you covered.

      Israel also has universal health care, and they’re still getting a cool five billion in charity from us every year.

      How many bureaucrats does that $1300 have to pay before it reaches the ambulance driver?

      The US healthcare system is notorious for bloat. Taxpayers pay more for healthcare than countries with free healthcare.
