Does Israel, a country we give billions of dollars to, have health care for it's citizens?

Answer 1

Medical services are provided through four health insurance companies, known as sick funds: Kupat Holim Clalit, Kupat Holim Maccabi, Kupat Holim Meuhedet and Kupat Holim Leumit.
The money for this comes from peoples income, so in theory you have a free health service, provided by the Minstry of Health.
Since the mid 90's, Israel has had a comprehensive National Insurance fund (not unlike the one in the UK), which gives citizens the right to treatment, hospital stays and medication. Israel also has a one of the highest doctor:patient ratios in the world.

Answer 2

Yes it does but it is privatized not socialized.

Since the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, the issue of health care has never left the public agenda. The public debate on reform of the health system has focused on enactment of a national health insurance law. Reform was spurred by recommendations of the Natanyahu Commission (1990). Its recommendations served as a catalyst for the passage of the National Health Insurance Law which came into effect on January 1, 1995.
