This is probably in reference to USAID and other global humanitarian efforts formerly provided by the US that were eliminated by doge earlier this year, directly killing thousands of people, destroying decades of good will, and handing all soft power in the developing world directly to China.
Not really. Pharma doesn’t lower prices elsewhere because the US market is basically an all-you-can-earn bonanza. Prices elsewhere are lower because there prices are heavily regulated. They can’t just charge what they want there, nor can they just jack up prices whenever they feel like it
Does this ma think because we spend like double every other country on not even having free healthcare that we are subsidizing it for them and not that we are just giving medical insurance free money to make us pay more money for medical?

the Argentinian president is a crypto bro, so he gets a pass
Israel has free healthcare because they don't pay for their military. Guess who does.

The US healthcare system is just laughable.
So we’re finally going to stop bankrolling universal healthcare in Isreal?
