Does Isreal allow anyone from any nearby country to sign up for those national ‘health care rights’ like we do? I suspect they limit who gets the benefits to avoid national bankruptcy. (Why give free health care to a kid who will strap a suicide bomb pack on later anyway?)

They don't have thousands of new Dreamers every-day entitled.

Tell you what, let California enact a state wide socialized system and lets see how it works.

No, but they do give health care to Palestinians. Who usually stiff them for the bill. Health care is NOT free in Israel, even Isreali's have to help foot the costs. Its just that without the Government trying to control the Hospitals, the costs are reasonable, like they were before Bush voted in the Pharma act.

The only problem with health care in the USA is not health care costs, it is Lawyers and Politicians.
