Kat Abughazaleh, a 26-year-old Democratic candidate for Illinois' ninth congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives, said "every single person in the world deserves healthcare," even illegal immigrants.
"How is it controversial?" Abughazaleh asked a CNN "NewsNight" panel on Thursday night.
The young progressive candidate, with a campaign website that reads, "I don't have health insurance, and I'm running for Congress," repeatedly told the panel that every person is entitled to healthcare when asked if that includes illegal immigrants.
"I'm such a monster… How is it controversial that I don't want someone to die in the hospital if they can't afford it?" Abughazaleh asked.
President Donald Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act is currently under consideration by a Republican-led White House and Congress. The president has championed the legislation as fulfilling his key campaign promises, including border security, American energy production and tax cuts.
House Republicans have celebrated Medicaid reform included in the megabill, which they say eliminates waste, fraud and abuse in the welfare program to deliver for Americans who need coverage most.
Removing illegal immigrants from Medicaid is one of the key provisions of that Medicaid reform.
Meanwhile, Democrats have railed against possible Medicaid cuts since Trump was elected in November. Every House Democrat voted against the bill, and Democrats are already defining Medicaid cuts as a driving issue ahead of competitive midterm elections in 2026.

Think of all the good things i can do with your money!!
Lets not even talk about how our health care system is already stretched super thin.
“How is it controversial that I don’t want someone to die in the hospital if they can’t afford it”
Many babies are aborted because the parent or parents can’t afford a child.
4 generations under printed, fiat, Federal Reserve money, manipulated interest rates and non-stop government deficits - and we’ve finally convinced people that Santa Claus is real.
I am trying to imagine another profit scheme that is needed by many. Once determined, I will program the masses to feel my new profit scheme is deserved by all. With the profits, I will lobby government to mandate insurance funding to all in order to provide affordability of my profitable profit scheme.
Then I will employ beautiful men and women to sell it.
‘How is it controversial?’
To be sure that’s AOC dumb, low IQ range.
“I’m such a monster… How is it controversial that I don’t want someone to die in the hospital if they can’t afford it?” Abughazaleh asked.
It is easy to spend other peoples money, bankrupt the system, and destroy the greatest country the world has ever known.
Yes, this person is a monster.
Right now it's not quite democracy. But we are almost there. There are no checks to prevent us from stopping it from happening. No wonder we're 36 trillion dollars in debt. And we are not even completely socialist yet. But no worries. We are on our way.
Tax all registered democrats 98% to pay for it.

IIRC-—THEY “WON’T DIE IN A HOSPITAL IF THEY CANNOT AFFORD TO BE THERE”
World is inhabited by billions of people who do not have healthcare!
Are we supposed to provide for all of them?!
“How is it controversial that I don’t want someone to die in the hospital if they can’t afford it?” Abughazaleh asked.”
Because you’re threatening me with prison or death if I don’t pay for it.
That’s why.
Hard pass, bitch.

I thought black Jesus and crazy Nancy fixed health insurance...
She is the front runner in the Far Left 9th District in Illinois - they have crazy on the North Shore.

FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
We'll get back to unconstitutional, desperate democratic, vote-wining federal healthcare for undocumented democrats shortly.
Next, the Constitution doesn't stop citizens from enjoying taxpayer-paid government healthcare.
H O W E V E R ...
Since the word healthcare is not found in the Constitution, the 10th Amendment automatically reserves government power to tax and spend for healthcare uniquely to the states, not the federal government.
"10th Amendment: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people [emphasis added]."
”State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress [emphases added]” —Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
The congressional record shows that Rep. John Bingham, a constitutional lawmaker, had clarified the federal government's constitutionally limited powers as follows.
”Simply this, that the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Constitution, is in the States and not in the federal government [emphases added]. I have sought to effect no change in that respect in the Constitution of the country.” —John Bingham, Congressional. Globe. 1866, page 1292 (see top half of third column)
"From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.
So not only are FDR-era federal healthcare programs based on stolen state powers and 16th Amendment (direct taxes)-facilitated stolen state revenues (oppressed citizen's wallets), but the misguided Roberts Supreme Court got the wires crossed with unconstitutional (imo) Obamacare imo.
The bottom line is that that the deep state federal government cannot give "free" healthcare to illegal aliens any more than it can provide it for non-federal employee citizens who have been coerced into paying into federal healthcare with unconstitutional taxes imo.
The 16th Amendment has not only weakened our 4th Amendment protections, but is the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow for organized crime (imo) and desperately needs to be repealed along with the 17th Amendment, popular voting for federal senators.
We'll call the repeal amendment Trump's Boston Tea Party II Amendment.
Once unconstitutional federal taxing and spend is stopped, the states will ultimately find a tsunami of new revenues that they probably won't know what to do with imo, although healthcare is certainly on the short list of top priorities.
"16th Amendment: The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived [emphasis added], without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration."
"4th Amendment: The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."
(Again) "Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
“If the tax be not proposed for the common defence, or general welfare, but for other objects, wholly extraneous, (as for instance, for propagating Mahometanism among the Turks, or giving aids and subsidies to a foreign nation, to build palaces for its kings, or erect monuments to its heroes,) it would be wholly indefensible upon constitutional principles [emphases added].” — Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2 (1833).
(Again) The congressional record shows that Rep. John Bingham, a constitutional lawmaker, had clarified the federal government's constitutionally limited powers as follows.
”Simply this, that the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Constitution, is in the States and not in the federal government [emphases added]. I have sought to effect no change in that respect in the Constitution of the country.” —John Bingham, Congressional. Globe. 1866, page 1292 (see top half of third column)
“Cherish, therefore, the spirit of our people, and keep alive their attention. If once they become inattentive to the public affairs, you and I, and Congress and Assemblies, judges and governors, shall all become wolves [emphasis added]. It seems to be the law of our general nature.” - Thomas Jefferson (Letter to Edward Carrington January 16, 1787)
