I agree with you air_ogi.
People who claim one reason not to have universal health is because illegals will take advantage of the system.
Even with universal health care, illegals will live under the existing status quo — they will go to the emergency rooms.
Conservatives don’t want to say it… but they really want the system to reject ill patients who show up at the emergency room without the ability to pay.
As a developed, advanced country, do we have the stomach to turn away patients who will die on our streets. If that’s what conservatives want, then let them say it out loud.[/quote]
I thought you agree with air_ogi that illegals and legal visitors should get no service?
We can’t have a system where everyone has access to every procedure available. At some point you have to ration. And if the Democrats don’t want to factor in the legal status of the recipient they should say so.
The citizens have access to less care, so the illegals can have access to some (more?) care.
Same with the schools – the citizens’ classes will be larger and teachers per pupil fewer, so the illegal can have access to some (more?) education.
Then we can test if the citizens of the developed country will support such policy.
