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 Trumps Administrations 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 Trumps 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 countrys 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 Simons decision disregards federal law and violates a Supreme Court decision last year recognizing the presidents broad authority to impose such restrictions. We will be appealing his decision and expect that a higher court will obey last years 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 arent 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.

The judge needs a flogging
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.
