Oh good this is wonderful news, why don't working Americans just pay for EVERYONE'S healthcare in the entire world while we are at it?
so...the solution is....move back to Mexico, or die if you get sick....I think this would be a wonderful slogan for the republican party....please call your republican senate or house politician and MAKE THAT HAPPEN !!!
So you're saying because their home country doesn't have adequate health care, it's up to us to provide it to them. Ok.

While pushing for immigration reform.
I guess you expect people to blindly accept your title while not reading the article you link. She's not saying give handouts to just anybody.
Let's make a road for these people towards citizenship. She doesn't want to deport parents of children born here. She doesn't want to split up families. She wants to extend citizenship to those seeking it and the benefits of citizenship includes the ACA. SO while these folks who show a desire to become citizens are going through the process she feels right in extending this benefit to them .
Our country was built by immigrants. Your grandparents and mine who came here for a better way of life. That still appeals to people today. Those who have come here illegally must be shown a path to citizenship that does not include deportation or punitive measures. They're people like you and me who want a better life. Hey that we still have such appeal to the rest of the world says something good about us.
She's not advocating extending benefits of citizenship to criminals. We're talking families. Moms and dads and children. People who can contribute to our country.
I was in a serious motorcycle accident some years ago. The bill came to $70,000. When I went to make arraingments to pay my portion, the accountants laughed as they told me how some people never pay their hospital bill. I said "I dont want to pay this one". They said " your a different story, you are an American, You have a job, and we know where you work. The reason you have to pay so much is to cover the cost of those who do not pay. We also need some other information, on your home. Are you a home owner, and how much equity do you have in your home".

I know someone that worked at a major county hospital. Illegals came into the emergency room all the time for medical attention and got it and never had to pay a dime because they were "poor".

I dont know if anyone has mentioned it yet , but wasnt that what "Obamacare" was about in the first place ? To provide free or low-cost healthcare for the 100,000,000 or so uninsured people of the US. Of which 30,000,000 were "undocumented workers" .

We all know it's not free.
Do you really believe your so much smarter than the rest of us?
Actually I'm not very bright at all. And if an idiot like myself can see how destructive this is, then it must be bad.
