How many are illegals on the program? Just look to any ER in a major city.
The question is not just a political one, but a moral one as well.
While I agree medical care should have been obtained in their home country, the fact remains they are the human in front of you. Perhaps we should be demanding payment from their country of origin.
“Perhaps we should be demanding payment from their country of origin.”
Like a medical tariff? Try that times 20,000,000 illegals, love it!
Emergency room care is the most expensive - for illegals and for poor citizens. It’s also the one that’s incentivized. Create a system based on the incentives of a careful family and you’ll have better medical care cheaper...
Hint: in a family - a portion of what YOU DON’T SPEND ON MEDICAL CARE you get to use for other things you want and need. So a family self limits ...
They need to return to their country of origin. US taxpayers are not able to support medical care for the entire world nor do they want to.

I have advocated that for years. Since almost everybody in the world gets foreign aid from us, simply deduct the cost of their medical care from what we suckers are sending them, and pay the hospitals.
