So, if Israel spends 8% of it’s GDP on healthcare and their yearly GDP is aprox. 243 billion (2011) then they are spending about 19-20 billion per year on medical care. The US is subsidizing about 16-17% of Israel’s healthcare.(That 3.1 billion would have to come out of Israel’s pocket if we didn’t give it). Also what is the amount of importation of pharmaceuticals and medical devices into Israel from the US and at what price? Is it similar to the deal most European countries get where the US citizen pays via cost-shifting the low cost of said drugs and devices to said countries?
