Emergency Medicaid provides limited coverage for emergency medical treatment to individuals who meet all other Medicaid eligibility requirements but lack lawful immigration status. This is separate from regular Medicaid, which is not available to most non-citizens. Eligibility is based on meeting low-income criteria and having an emergency medical condition, such as a sudden and severe illness or injury.


Google "Emergency Medicaid for Immigrants"

Goal Post Moved... since ERs are available to any and all, that's where they go to get all of their care needs met. Duh.

Emergency visits for uninsured people totaled 3.8 billion in 2023. That's not just immigrants, that's for ALL ANERICANS.

Our GDP was 28 TRILLION that year.

So please explain how ONLY immigrants using emergency is cutting into funds for you and your family? If it's 3.8 billion for all Americans then it's literally less than 400 million for ILLEGAL immigrants.

CAN YOU EXPLAIN HOW THIS IS HURTING YOU?


Wait, in the other thread, i thought you dealt with people with "hands and iron". You dont' seem like such the tough warrior in this thread. Again, if you are going to change personalities, change your screen name, genius.

also the data is skewed "illegal parents" technically get no benefits,
but that anchor baby comes with a SSN, and access to all the services

that's how the data gets laundered

end birthright

You and you wife are in the most expensive demographic for health care costs. That young pregnant chick is less expensive than you. She is subsiding your health care. Perhaps you should just take her money and not bitch about it.

Just like the Swifties and the Obama Zombies, President Trump certainly has his own army of dedicated disciples.

Conservatives have typically been individualists, so didn't seem to usually fall into the Swifties and Obama Zombies types, but give him credit, Donald Trump pulled it off forming a mass collectivism that gets unreasonably pissed at any slight negativity or questioning towards him.

I agree with her in principle. There’s no reason someone who is male, beyond childbearing years or who has undergone some kind of tubal ligation surgery to be forced to buy maternity insurance, for example.

But I think it’s stupid AF for her to be wondering where the Republican plan is.

Perhaps she would have more credibility on this issue if she spearheaded one.

I have so many thoughts on how to repeal and replace. But to paraphrase one of my favorite lines from one of my favorite movies (As Good as it Gets) - we’re drowning here. And you’re describing the water.

Marjorie - how about you stop enabling democrats with this fricking temper tantrum they are having right now, and use your time and energy in providing a solution that addresses your very real and correct criticisms of Obamacare.

I love beautiful senoritas. It is too bad they can not stay. Heck, I would pay their insurance if needed.

This is exactly what I mean when I tell people that we should buy health insurance like we buy car insurance.

We should be able to buy across state lines, it should not be tied to employment, and people should be able to pick and choose what coverages they want. Buy a simple, basic catastrophic plan and add to it any special coverages you want. When you’re young, you don’t need nursing home/assisted living coverage. If you’re a single man, no pregnancy coverage. Common sense should apply.

We know the issues.

her job is to propose legislature to fix it.

and insurance premiums have been increasing for decades.

So what’s her plan?

I've seen a many one on one black/white fights and vast majority the black guy got his arse kicked. Now I've seen groups of black men jump on one guy and that's a different story. Black men can't fight one-on-one; you just can't.

Then the insurance plan should charge them on the age, not requiring maternity coverage.

I worked for a decade out of college self employed. The self employed health coverage was expensive, but I was always able to opt out of the additional $150-200/mo. added to a premium for maternity coverage and just negotiate with the hospital when my wife got pregnant. Paid them on time every time.

But then came the "Affordable" Health Care Act that REQUIRED all insurance plans cover pregnancy. So I couldn't opt out. Well...I soon then moved from Louisiana to Texas (which I never wanted to do to my kids) to take a company job because to carry self employed insurance was about to skyrocket.

frick this Obamacare crap.

You aren't.

The plan you select covers it. People that use that stuff don't need to cover colonoscopies and old people stuff like you need.

Insurance companies, right / wrong / in the middle, pool risk and pay claims across a population, not based on each person's specific needs.

CMS

There’s a whole section on qualified noncitizens eligible for Medicaid.

Come over, get refugee or asylum status and bingo. Taxpayer funded healthcare.

Ok, cool your better at basketball and track. Sorry man, pretending to be "pissed" all the time, talking loud, throwing up "gang" signs only scares elderly women, nobody else thinks you are hard, it's embarrassing for young black men to do that. Maybe the 6 year old boys you diddle with think that though.

You think there is no depth to anyone because the right wingers you are around have none.


No, i think starting a screen name trying to sound "hood" and then forgetting yourself in this thread and trying to not sound that shows me exactly what you are.

1) You are a manufactured troll. You are not real. Meaning, your posts/ideas are not your actual thoughts. It's what you think people like you should sound like.
2) In your first thread, you very racistly tried to portray yourself as a black person with a chip on his shoulder against white people, to elicit a racist response from other posters. That clearly, did not go the way you thought it would. Which is why you changed tact here. What's funny, is you don't know anything about this website. You heard it was a "conservative/MAGA" place from some left wing site like DU, so you got your orders to try and cancel via "exposed racism". However, that failed at each attempt.
3) Now, you are in this thread, with a completely different posting style. Your speech patterns here and posting style is completely different. This tells intelligent people you are not genuine. You are a fictitious being whose only consistent trait amongst your 2 posting personalities is your abject hate of anything you don't agree with.
4) Go outside, touch grass. Talk to real people. Get off the internet, make friends. Get a girlfriend. Marry her, start a family. Then look back at this lame attempt at trolling and laugh at how silly you used to be.

ETA: 5) You must be a dinosaur to think that pretending to be "hard" on the internet works nowadays. Maybe you aren't the young moron, but rather an old liberal who doesn't really understand the internet. You're one of these old white guys with beards that lives in Pac NW who participates in "nudist protests" that thinks that this archaic debate style would actually go the way you think it will go.

I don't always agree with MTG, but I think she's one of the better members of congress.
