The United States spent $4.9 trillion on healthcare in 2023. 30 billion is around .6% of that

As for a "big tax rebate" that come out to around $88 per person if everybody got it.

Or less than half of that when the true death toll is known.

But the US can't spare $25 for fortified nutrition to save the life of one child in Myanmar or Sudan. Or feed its own hungry children at school.
