Please say that louder for the ones in the back that are saying illegals receive no free health care.
Because services from (community health centers, migrant health centers, and free clinics) are federally funded.
So while there is an argument about ACA funding for illegals, what difference does it make if our tax dollars are funding them anyway? Whether it's through ACA funding or something else with another title?
The claim is that Democrats want to extend eligibility of programs to undocumented immigrants. That is a lie.
If you ask me if I think that a person, regardless of who they are, deserves something as basic as healthcare, especially life-saving healthcare. Then of course I do.
Democrats may not want to extend these programs to undocumented immigrants.
My personal view is that healthcare is a basic human right, and in the wealthiest country in the world that right should exist for everyone; not just citizens and legal residents, but even undocumented immigrants. If a person is here illegally, they should receive life-saving treatment; and the legality of their status can be addressed later, and through proper procedure they can either remain here legally or be deported back to their country of origin.
That is humane, just, and lawful.
The opposite of what is going on right now and how things are in America. Where the conditions are inhumane, unjust, and unlawful.
