Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) said that her Medicare for All plan would cover everyone in America, even those in the country illegally, at a town hall on Nov. 8.
Speaking in Raleigh, North Carolina, she said that her plan—which would see the government take over the entire healthcare industry—would cover all illegal immigrants in the United States, estimated to be up to 29 million people.
“We know that you have included undocumented people in your plans to provide Medicare for All, so my question is why did you decide to include people regardless of immigration status, and would this include obtaining subsidies like the ACA’s—Affordable Care Act’s—affordability subsidies?” Warren was asked at the event.
“Would you also support access to the children’s health insurance program without regard to immigration status?” the man asking the question added.
Warren responded by praising the question and confirming her Medicare for All plan would cover people who aren’t legally in the country.
“I’m really glad you asked this. Medicare for All, as I put this together, covers everyone, regardless of immigration status, and that’s it,” Warren said, prompting applause.

What about illegal aliens who haven’t come here yet?
Already a done deal in California.
And yet, she doesn't mention the shining example, THAT ALREADY EXISTS, of a single payer health system, financed by and controlled by the US Federal government.
Does the VA ring any bells?
why not just cover everyone everywhere in the world? Why stop at just ILLEGALS? Hell, it isn’t her money at stake- just ours!
They’d be covered, too, as soon as they get here.
Flimsey Grahamnesty can’t wait to help her legalize them.
If she was able to accomplish her ill-conceived and destructive plan for health care, I would most definitely quit practicing medicine. I refuse to be a pawn of an overreaching government run by clueless idiots like Warren. More importantly, I refuse to be party to the decline of American medicine and the exposure of American citizens to a system of health care that is much less than they deserve. I would be happier to treat people on the side, for free, than to work for the unaccomplished minimally talented narcissists who generally populate elected office.
I don't think primary care physicians (PCPs) are going to eagerly donate their time and money taking care of anyone.
So...that thingy that leftists don't want to acknowledge called rationing will take place, and there'll be long lines that'll make the DMV lines look like you're next in line at a supermarket.
DO HER MEDICARE ILLEGALS PAY A MONTHLY FEE FOR THEIR MEDICAL CARE LIKE WE ON SOCIAL SECURITY DO?
JUST WONDERING..
How many chickens for an office visit?
Bottle of scotch..
will it cover government employees?? Bet not.
All the more reason for Trump to do a massive purge of illegals and have ICE agents at every polling precinct.
Of course! Its a scheme to force us to pay for non-Americans. Just another massive transfer of money from those who work to those who vote democrat. They give it a nice name to disguise their intentions.
Suppose they’ll get the vote, too, eh, Liz.
I thought that was part of the deal already. I mean, it’s every American’s (who is halfway productive) duty to provide for 5 illegal aliens and 2 welfare recipients, isn’t it?
