Can someone explain to me why it’s a good idea to keep illegals on Medicaid?

I can see the argument they without insurance they’ll drive costs up. But at some point you have to draw a line.

It is not the Republicans. Look at the vote totals.

Ask your fellow democrats. They didn't contribute enough to get to 60 votes for.

Well, there are several good reasons...

First....

Second....

Third....

and finally... Fourth and probably most importantly...

And those are all the reasons we it's a good idea to keep illegals on Medicaid. Hope I was of some help.

Well they are fricking cowards, but the response isn’t “republicans are done.” Why do we just assume they will lose the midterms?

Are ww thinking people will assume it’s a lost cause (I tend to agree to a certain extent)?

VOTE THESE CORRUPT PUSSIES OUT!

Personally, I opposed the bill. But, it points out how gutless and feckless the Republicans really are.

The dem parliamentarian said it had to have 60 votes to pass. The GOP could have told her to go screw herself, but they didn't. She doesn't have any real power and can only recommend.

The gutless of the GOP are hiding behind her skirt.

They suck, yeah. But what are you talking about?

This seems like the easiest thing to understand. With the current makeup of the republican representatives and senators this bill is the best possible.

I don’t understand as an American taxpayer why democrats would want it. I just don’t understand. In no foreign country / continent can we go to and receive aid and support. We have to prove we are self-supportive. And other guidelines/rules to consider if one want to immigrate. Why are they doing this?

I can see the argument they without insurance they’ll drive costs up. But at some point you have to draw a line.


Them getting coverage isn't keeping any costs down. You, the tax payer, are still paying. How do you wish to pay? Increased taxes or higher health care costs? Insurance isn't magic. It does not bring down costs to anyone. If we went cash for service, prices would plummet. It likely increases costs. My family pays roughly $22k/year in premiums for which there is a $9k family deductible, after which there is an 80%/20% split. Everytime I need to access health care, I think to myself: "do I really need this? Is it cheaper for me to go to the Minute Clinic at CVS? Maybe I will use steri-strips on my kids cut instead of stitches". The poor/undocumented on Medicaid think: "Its free to me, so why not?!" Making this formula worse is the shitty health our poor people are in. Largely because this country subsidizes poor health choices.
