Lies are truth and truth is lies. Good is evil and evil is good. Criminals are innocent and the innocent are criminals.

This is utopia?

Yeah, sure, 1.4 million is a flat out low ball figure, given that 20 million have entered. No informed and honest person would believe that.

Now whether Americans (Christians especially) decide that it is a moral imperative to provide for these poor folk is another question. And should be decided in an HONEST presentation of facts re cost/benefit scenarios.

We are sick of being punked. Tell the whole truth. Lead, follow or get out of the way.

The truth is that illegals who are in this country will get healthcare.

For minor things they go to the emergency room and dont pay. For serious things they are covered by emergency medicaid. This includes births. That means emergency medicaid covers their delivery, and the normal medicaid covers their child since they are a citizen.

This isn't hard to figure out. Virtually everyone who shows up at an emergency room without insurance gets treated. Virtually everyone who shows up at an indigent clinic gets treated.

It doesn't matter what the politicians say or what statistics they cite, the great majority of people who illegally migrate to this country will not be able to afford health insurance for the foreseeable future, if ever. A very large percentage of those people will eventually consume healthcare resources that they can't afford to pay for. The govt, taxpayers, and people with healthcare insurance will pay for it.

Guess there’s only one thing left to do then.

In the real world, MAGA Mike and the GOP continue to fight for Americans and prevent resources from going to illegals.

Muh Uniparty simpletons will ignore it, and continue posting with their hair on fire. :caste:

Yeah, draining Medicaid doesn’t bother them until they eventually age and need Medicaid of course. Then it’s going to be Conservatives who did it to them because people who continually tell themselves lies and avoid responsibility will continue to do so no matter what.

Either way, Trump will fix Obamacare.

Laws require emergency rooms to treat people who come in with medical problems. Solution: deport illegals.

No it’s not. Elections have consequences. Trump ran on deporting all of the illegals and won with a landslide mandate.

The question of what medical coverage they should be provided with is one for their country of origin once we send them back.

Absolutely! There are laws on the books that hospitals have to report gunshot victims. Why not make laws that hospitals have to report illegals to ICE? Your "Free Healthcare" comes with a one way ticket home.

All the republicans have to do in response to any MSM or people questioning whether illegal aliens get healthcare for free.

1. Do you believe we have illegal aliens in this country? Response should be yes or you have an even bigger problem.

2. Where do you think they get healthcare from? Response, they don't or you tell me.

3. Do you think they have babies or emergency situations that require healthcare? Response, yes.

4. Since you answered yes to those lead in questions, then where do you think they get healthcare from?

I'll tell you where they get healthcare from. State and Local Programs, Emergency rooms, community healthcare centers, free clinics etc. Where do you think the funding for that care comes from? TAXPAYERS via Medicaid because these places get disproportionate funding which is simply subsidies for non-insured, increased premiums to citizens because hospitals shift costs to insured patients and the government offsets some losses through other programs. It comes out of your pocket.
