      I’m sorry, but we are instead arming and financing Israel and Saudi Arabia, both of which coincidentally have universal healthcare.

        I don’t know if you could call their systems universal, there are a lot of people in those countries that can’t access the systems. You could probably say universal healthcare for citizens, and in Saudis case a select group of citizens.
