Judge Bars Requiring Would-be Immigrants to Have Health Insurance [semi-satire]
Semi-News/Semi-Satire ^ | 1 Dec 2019 | John Semmens

Oregon U.S. Dist. Court Judge Michael Simon issued a nationwide injunction stopping the State Department from requiring foreign nationals to show they will be covered by health insurance within 30 days of entering the country before they can be granted a visa. The Judge rejected the Trump’s Administration’s assertion that the new rule is needed to alleviate the burden on US taxpayers of having to supply immigrants with health care.

“Inasmuch as it is the unanimous opinion of all right thinking individuals that free health care is a human right, we cannot allow Trump’s deviant minority viewpoint to overrule the majority,” Simon wrote in his decision. “Since one of the key motivations for immigrating to the United States is to claim a fair share of the global bounty available to this country’s residents, it would be unjust to deny them the benefit of the free health care that will be provided to all once the current Administration is removed from power.”

White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham pointed out that “Simon’s decision disregards federal law and violates a Supreme Court decision last year recognizing the president’s broad authority to impose such restrictions. We will be appealing his decision and expect that a higher court will obey last year’s Supreme Court ruling.”

Doug Rand, a former White House official under President Obama, chided the White House for being “fixated on the notion that immigrants aren’t entitled to US taxpayers’ resources. This notion was thoroughly debunked by President Obama. He established the principle that US taxpayers have no right to resist sharing their wealth with those less fortunate, especially foreigners.”

They don’t have to immigrate. They can have the healthcare their current country provides. No-one denying them healthcare! What a low IQ idiot. In lots of countries you can be asked to pay for up to two years. You can have all the he healthcare you want. Just pay for it.

Sure, Appointed-By-Barak-Hussein-Obama-Mmmm-Mmmm-Mmmm!-Oregon U.S. District Court Judge Michael Simon, open the window and let the flies in to feast on the American taxpayer dime the second they set foot on continental soil, while I'm a year into my SSA disability claim and haven't even gotten a hearing date yet. You pudgy, dough-faced, bald headed, ACLU-pandering, four-eyed, myopic walrus turd. A good header off a high cliff down to fog-shrouded rocks in the surf is the best thing you could do to better the cause of The Republic.
