OPs post is a picture of a life-expectancy chart with the refuted claim written in large red letters.

Look, I'm very much for ending giving money to Israelis, but they don't need to make up reasons why we should

For reference, the title is:

ISRAELIS HAVE FREE HEALTHCARE FUNDED BY AMERICAN TAX PAYERS, WHICH GIVES THEM 5 YEARS OF EXTRA LIFE COMPARED TO THE AMERICANS

The fact-check link explains that Israelis don't have privileged access to the USA healthcare system, not how the Israeli healthcare system is financed. But it's an obvious clickbait title: are 4 years difference, not five, and wherever the money comes (USA transference, Israeli working class, plundering of Palestine...) don't change the fact that it's better and ~~3~~4 times cheaper than the USA healthcare system.
