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.
