It’s part of the reason for the shutdown. Republicans claim Democrats want to support illegals with healthcare.

My father-in-law swears up and down that it’s already illegal to give illegals healthcare with the ACA and that it’s a moot point.

I only get my news from the board (mostly) so I don’t really know why the government shutdown has happened other than the democrats want a bunch of stuff the republicans don’t want to give.

Ask him how illegals access healthcare outside of the ACA.

It’s already illegal but they are getting it through states Medicaid. It’s all BS. They need the cash to pay the hospitals who are providing more than just ER services to illegals.

Why do illegals have any rights at all?

They aren’t citizens. They don’t deserve free healthcare

Until all Americans have free healthcare first, then sure whatever give illegals free healthcare

But Americans shouldn’t be paying for it to keep it free for illegals

I feel like I’m taking crazy pills

Here's a full list of people who should qualify for healthcare:











Nothing that requires the labor of another human is a right.

Just because it’s illegal doesn’t mean the democrats don’t do it anyways

My bride (no pics) is a nurse in management at a local hospital. They had an illegal from Guatemala (bad heavy drunk) and he came to their ER without any coverage of any kind. Diagnosed him with failed kidneys and he had to have dialysis within a couple days or he wasn't going to be around. They explained to him Mexico was his best alternative and while this was going on the front office was applying for Medicaid. He took off south and a couple hours later he was approved by Medicaid. They couldn't get him on the phone so everyone guessed he made it out of the country. This happened in 2022 so it was under the previous administration.

Once they pop out the anchor baby that is a citizen, the parents then qualify for almost everything under the guise of being the guardian of a citizen.

Correct, it is illegal under federal regulations but Democrats are cheating by funneling Fed money to illegals through their state governments.

You’re not, we live in two different countries now and people better wake up and understand that.

Every completely blue area is a communist shithole that has nothing in common with America. Those areas only take advantage of our Constitution and use it against us.

It defies logic that anyone would want to give illegals free healthcare.

Right, so what other motives could there be?

The Democrats say no health care for “undocumented “ immigrants but they consider them all documented.

It’s a play on words

Actually, there is no issue regarding healthcare for undocumented immigrants. None whatsoever.

We know.

You Communists have no issue and no hesitation with handing public health care dollars to illegals.

It is theft. Politicians stealing taxpayer funds and using proceeds to import and sustain foreign voters, disenfranchising US citizens.
