Why is it OK to use tax payers dollars for Free health care for Iraqis?

Rep's control congress and Bush give the Iraqi government 2.8 trillion dollars for Free heath care ( 2003) for 10 years, so why do the Rep's refuse to help the American people?

    It isn't. The Republicans took billions of dollars of our money and gave it to Iraq, ignoring our concerns the entire time.

    Excuse, Sir.

    Who is the President and who control the Congresses now? Obama and the Democrats can sure stop everything in Iraq, can't he?

    Perhaps they require the health care because they keep getting blown up by cluster bombs and air raids payed for with American taxes?

    Did the people of PAKISTAN who got blown up because of Obama's plan ask for it?

    Likely b/c we're trying to form a positive relationship with them. You can't go into a Country, blow it to hell, not help the citizens and expect them to be on your side when the dust settles.

    It has no bearing on the argument for Health Care being "provided" in The States.

    Who says Republicans are "refusing" to help the American people????

    Do you just make things up or what? We just don't want the inept gov't taking it over.

    Where does that article mention 2.8 trillion?

    Apparently, they believe in giving our money to Iraqis and Afghans for free health care, but don't believe their neighbor is as important.
