You know very well that is just one person and does not represent the average Medicaid recipient.


You know that just one person can rack up millions in medical costs at the taxpayer expense. When the cost/benefit equation is circumvented by providing free care, demand for that care goes up. When she has to think TWICE (like I do) about seeking treatment for something because of the cost, the demand for services goes down along with prices.

There was a case in Florida where an illegal immigrant was in a car accident and ran up a $1.5M million dollar hospital bill. Yes, illegals are covered under Medicaid in emergency situations. If I recall this case correctly, he was left in a vegetative state and the hospital fought to repatriate him to his home country.

Why are East Asians and Indians underrepresented?



You think East Asians and Indians are the same as the descendants of slaves.

What do you mean by "same?" If you are implying slavery didn't exist in Asia, delete your question because it's absurd.

Why blame the patient and not the healthcare system dramatically overcharging people?

Wait...do you think East Asians and Indians have never been enslaved before?

Slavery existed in India until 1843

quote:

Slavery before 1843 often took different forms than the chattel slavery of the Atlantic world. It included bonded labor, hereditary servitude, and other systems of forced labor.

Even after 1843, many exploitative labor practices, especially bonded labor or debt bondage, persisted and were widespread.

The bonded labor system was only formally abolished by law in India with the Bonded Labor System (Abolition) Act of 1976.


Slavery has existed in various East Asian countries throughout history. I can make a more detailed post if you would like.

My wife's grandfather escaped to Indonesia from communist China, which was under Mao Zedong’s rule decades ago when people were basically slaves so she is more of a descendant of slaves than any black people currently in America. She was here for 15 years before we met and was already successful. Why can she and others like her do it so quickly in America, yet one group can't?

I did Google and couldn't find this info easily. I did not dig very deep, so I will accept the roast.

Cubbies is more likely to think communism is peak morality than she is to accept your comparison of it to slavery.

I"m saying an immigrant is not the same as a descendant of a slave in the United States. Yes. That's what I'm saying. It has nothing to do with your wife's relatives.

An immigrant is not the same as descendants of American slaves. If you want to interpret that to mean whatever it is you're saying, that's on you.

I'm confused. Are you actually agreeing that people like this should not be on medicaid?


He's not going to answer because he really doesn't know.

The Left gets told by DU, DailyKos, Reddit, or any other DNC shite posting site that legit eligible Medicaid people are being thrown off Medicaid and they simply parrot those lines without researching it.

All you have to do is read the actual legislation and get the answers that it simply targets the direct Fraud Waste and Abuse indentified in DOGE. The majority of those being illegal aliens who were never suppose to be receiving a penny of Medicaid to begin with.

There are Asians in America that experienced slavery themselves.

What are you actually trying to say? Maybe just explain the difference you're focused on, for clarity.

I’m sorry…. Did you just link a post from Eric Swallwell to make a point? The same rep that was having a sexual relationship with a Chinese spy while he was on the intelligence committee and was the ranking member of the Central Intelligence Agency Subcommittee?

Seriously?

She should have been sterilized after we paid for the first and we wouldn’t be here discussing. B/c.
