This almost looks like a textbook example of how to alarm and/or turn off potential voters in the shortest amount of time possible. Elizabeth Warren managed to come up with one policy announcement that combines the most extreme positions on both immigration and health care reform in a single sentence. The question at hand was how her $52 trillion dollar Medicare for All proposal would apply to illegal aliens. The answer? Health insurance is a human right so of course there will be plenty of money to cover illegals with taxpayer-funded care as well. (Free Beacon)
Presidential candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.) said her Medicare for All plan covers everyone regardless of immigration status.
Medicare for All, as I put this together, covers everyone regardless of immigration status, Warren told a crowd of liberal activists on Friday. And thats it. We get Medicare for All, and you dont need the subsidies because Medicare for All is fully paid for, and thats the starting place.
The senator delivered the remarks at an event sponsored by Mijente, a pro-Latinx activist group. Warren said she believes health coverage is a basic human right.
Heres the video of the audacious claim. You can see that shes absolutely thrilled to redistribute even more taxpayer money at the drop of a hat if it sways a few more minority voters toward her camp.
Of course, Warren isnt the only one talking about this. Bernie Sanders has already put out a policy plan calling for coverage for illegal aliens, as well as saying they should receive free tuition for public colleges and universities.
What some of these candidates seem to be forgetting is that weve seen consistent polling showing that people are not in favor of this. One survey this summer found that 62% of registered voters, including 67% of independent voters, thought that taxpayer-funded health coverage for undocumented immigrants was a bad idea.
Further, the idea of a vast M4A plan that wipes out private health insurance plans that most people receive through their employers is equally unpopular. Another recent poll revealed that only 13% of registered voters want to see private health care plans go away. These arent marginal, party-line questions. They are very unpopular proposals.
If the Democrats manage to run Joe Biden out of Primary Town on a rail and put one of these socialists on the ballot next November, Donald Trump will be repeating their promises on these subjects on a daily basis. And the result wont be pretty for the Democrats. If thats the case, get ready for another round of viral videos showing liberals weeping on each others shoulders on election night.

and you better do what we say or you’ll get NO HEALTHCARE
Illegal aliens already get free health care. They jam pack ERs, then stiff the hospital for the bill. It is one of the reasons medical costs are high

Why would EVERY country in the world not just send every terminally ill patient to the US?
A $200-1000 one way ticket would be hugely cheaper than a single day of care in their govt hospitals.

True story years ago. While I waited for service at the hospital, some scrawny guys around 19 with heavy accents tried to explain their buddy who was grimacing and favoring one leg.
When put together into broken English fragments they related: "We were saying goodbye to our friend and we stood too close to his car as it pulled out and the car ran over his foot."
Should have been officially listed as: Cause of medical situation: "Stupidity."

At my ER at Cedars-Sinai Los Angeles the wait is never less than 6 hours, often more like 8 hours. The massive waiting room is jammed, people moaning ...hard to find a seat. Some people are clearly suffering.
All of my doctors are at Cedars! The situation is awful!

You don’t see the irony of your statement?
I’m happy to treat the Illegals in my ED , if I can then call ICE to come pick them up.
“No laws, no country”, right?

I’ve seen it with legal immigrants.
When working in Sacramento in the ER had an elderly woman come to the ER straight from the airport. Family had gotten her a green card and came over from Russia to get her cancer treated.

How many people are employed by those Private Health businesses?
How many hospitals were built with private funds?
Who is carrying the mortgages on those buildings?
Who bought the equipment needed to do fancy diagnoses?
Who paid for the tuition for all the medical people currently working in those private hospitals?
Who holds the stocks/bonds in those businesses?
Just exactly where do Warren & others think new doctors & medical staff are going to come from???
My chiropractor hasn’t taken on any new Medicare clients since Obamacare came on board. Her service rate hovers round $50 a visit. Medicate pays her $27.95 per patient per visit. Then, since Obama was handling things, her Accounts Receivable from the Federal Government went from about 90 days to as high as a year. She had to hire a new employee ONLY TO PROCESS & CODE her bills to the Feds. She had to invest in NEW SOFTWARE-—which was only available thru the Feds. Her entire office was turned topsy turvy.
As she explained to me, people—old or dealing with prior injuries often have a need for ‘Maintenance’ on their back or other joints.
HOWEVER-—Obamacare refuses to pay for “Maintenance” which again reflects how little research was done by Congress before they shoved Obamacare down our throats.
She is VERY TALENTED at what she does-—but she is under constant punishment from the Feds. I will bet an ice cream bar that she isn’t alone in that trap.

And all the while they take billions out of this nations economy and send it back to their own countries. Mexico alone takes out $22 billion a year and this after getting free education and free health care.

I think it is hilarious how she excludes her own millions from the higher tax rates on wealthy folks.
