I'll remember this, StatesRights, if the unemployment rate gets out of control.
"50 million Americans out of work... but 1 million are Mexicans so it doesn't matter."
IF it gets out of control? 16.4% unemployment is certainly out of control in my book. And why the hell should I have to pay for some non-citizen to get free healthcare?
You already do pay for a non-citizen's healthcare. No non-citizen goes to a doctor's office. They go to the emergency room.
I'm fine with covering an emergency situation but to get the same benefits as a nationalized health care? Hell no.
Problem is that emergency room treatment isn't always an emergency situations.
I can't tell you how many times I've been to the hospital, walked in the emergency rooms, and have seen Mexican women with children who appear to only have simple colds waiting in the emergency room.
We are paying for these people regardless.
And a thing Republicans seem to be leaving out of this:
this isn't free healthcare. This is
cheaper healthcare. These non-citizens are still going to have to pay money to receive it. And if this plan is cheaper than the private plans, the private plans costs go down which means you end up paying less. Maybe not less tax dollars, but less overall.
