    I guess deep down I always knew logic was not a strong point of the Trumpers.

    So you really don’t think illegals send their money down south? And you think it’s OK to give tax dollars to illegals. Logic is NOT your friend. Nice attempt at justifying horrible policy though.

    I heard an interesting idea today by a congressman who's name I did not get. He suggested WE PAY people to get the Corona Virus vaccine, rather than just give checks to everyone. This would hopefully make us reach herd immunity much faster, and get life back to semi normal faster.

    So I guess according to you're logic we should take back the money we gave to the 10 million US citizens working overseas because they won't spend it all here?

    These statements from The Task Force Recommendations might be indicative, "...... That’s why Democrats support makingCOVID-19 testing, treatment, and any eventual vaccines free to everyone, regardless of their wealth or their immigration status." or "
    health coverage is available to everyone for testing, treatment, medical services, rehabilitation, and that vaccines are available free of charge, regardless of immigration or economic status."

    I don't know about you, but I'm getting tired of trying to save the Trumpers from their own stupidity.
    Since there won't be enough vaccine for quite some time, I say let them opt out.

    Yeah, these are the reasons it's hard for me to get my mind around the supposed results of this election. Hard to believe there are that many stupid people.

    LOL and you're the one ignoring the fact that Illegals send the majority of their earned income back home to Mexico :)

    That wouldn't be a bad idea if we thought there was going to be a lot of people who were not planning on getting the vaccine. To me, a better idea would be to pay people (healthy people within healthy weight under 30) to get infected with COVID. If we had done that in starting in April we would probably already have herd immunity now and could live normally while we wait for the vaccine.

    You are correct: the taxpayer will have to foot the bill; but illegal immigrants won't. Pay heed to the implicit logic: according to the CBO, at most, half of illegal immigrants do not pay any federal taxes, which means that those immigrants would be receiving healthcare from the federal government, courtesy of Joe Biden, for free, since they are not paying for it.

    “In December 2019, in an interview with Telemundo, Biden expanded on the topic by saying that "Bidencare" — a proposed expansion of the Affordable Care Act — would provide 12 million immigrants who are here illegally with "a public option and they'd be able to buy in just like anyone else could."

    Pure PR maneuvering. Biden licks his finger and sticks it in the air to determine where the political winds are shifting: notice that he did not immediately raise his hand to the question, but then he saw his fellow Democrats raising their hands, and he heard cheering from the audience; then he raised his hand. When the rest of the American electorate gave a thumbs down to this policy stance, his campaign then decided to play PR.

    Here, I'll play it again. Watch Biden's delayed reaction, but then raises his hand when the audience cheers:

    Just about everyone covered by Biden's Affordable Care Act is fully subsidized by the american taxpayer.

    You better believe they don't expect a Mexian illegal to "buy in" and pay $20,000/year for the coverage, they fully expect the cost to be covered by our taxes.

    How about no...

    The government's already been paying billions of dollars to fast track develop the vaccine, and likely may be handing it out to the entire population, anyone who wants it, free of charge, on top of that.
    That's not enough for you?

    Free things aren't enough for people like you. You even dream of people being paid to accept free things!

    What do you think govt provided coverage is? Subsidized by tax payers!!! We should NOT be paying for THEM!! We already pay far too much to take care of them already.

    Anyone that can afford to buy GUNS and placed that as a priority already has more money than sense.

    Who do you think makes it possible to “buy in”? You’ll get it eventually. Keep thinking. It’ll come to you. It’s the same people who pay for their free ER visits and free education for their kids.
