Used to be the law of the land that immigrants....legal immigrants had to have a sponsor and were prohibited by law from seeking or accepting any government assistance such as food, housing or healthcare. My parents, just like millions of others managed pay for the births of four children as well as house and clothe them before becoming citizens, and all of that despite coming to America with only seven dollars and change in their pockets.

Now the damn liberals demand that we not only welcome illegals but give them more benefits than American citizens.

Real simple: if you’re not skilled and educated enough to hold a job that has health benefits, I don’t want you immigrating here.

Ok, you get a free ebt card for that! and also, since you are a conservative, plus you should get one thousand dollars per month, tax free, for life!

And how about a free cell ohone, and a free ford gt40 replica! With as much free time as you want at the local race track!

Liberals love increasing taxes so why not let the taxes increase for liberals?

Win win!!

My mother in law came over legally when she was a teen. Came from Italy. Worked in a sweatshop & saved money to bring her family over. Married a 1st generation American from Sicily. She is a pillar of her community & church.

It’s not like that now for a lot of people. She would have been mortified to take assistance.

Give to our people first!

We get the same speech in Tennessee on Tenn-care..what is not mentioned is the Dem Gov Phil Breseden kicked Tennessean’s off Tenn-care to put illegals on it. Medicaid is 20% of the 100% of a doctor or hospital bill. The other 80% is Ins or Medicare. Both pay below private ins rates. More Fraud too.

When I see my Doctor, I pay a $95 office visit only for most things. I see her about 1-2 times a year, 12 stitches $500. Health Care is actually pretty damned cheap when you pay for it yourself.

Prescription for Vicodin

Insurance- $10 copay, insrance is billed $100 and pays $40-$60 to pharmacy

NO Insurance- $20 and I walk out with them

ONE BIG FRIKKIN RACKET!!

Exactly.
Premiums pay not only the doctor & medicine, but also many layers of employees in between— insurance salesmen, medical coders, bureaucrats, plus all THEIR staffs, bookeepers, office supplies, buildings, postage...

We maybe need a requirement for catastrophic health coverage only. Everything else should be payable out of pocket & much cheaper in the long run.

If all these mothers and infants are really dying in Georgia, why isn’t the news-backed up

Georgia has one of the worst mortality rates in the nation which is worse than most of the world.

Guess what? The mortality rate of those with government welfare is extremely high. The mortality rate of those with no insurance is extremely low. For those who have private health insurance, mortality rate is moderately good.

There are quirks. Maternal and infant mortality is closely linked to lifestyle (alcohol, tobacco, vaping, drugs, promiscuous sex). They have an added factor. Moms who have babies when age 20 to 33 rarely have mortality. Nature did not plan for women to have their first baby when they themselves are a baby. And Nature did not plan that moms would wait til they are 38 to have their first baby. Count that also as lifestyle.

But the fact to take home is that those on government welfare have the high mortality.

Thanks for the info-it isn’t surprising-when I lived and worked in the city, more than a few of my comp clients were welfare queens doing drugs...

I had my cub at 17, did Lamaze 12 hrs later back home, no problems-of course I wasn’t using welfare and had military insurance, so that probably made a difference...

A feature, not a flaw.
