    If you got sick or injured in Austria, Sweden or Switzerland you would also get care whether you could pay or not.

    Well, unless you have an emergency or are dying they can deny treatment. You can go to the ER with a minor problem that should be treated in a doctor's office..

    Not exactly.. You could see a physician in his office rather than the emergency room.

    Democrats made sure their slaves were kept in good "working" condition back before the civil war. A mule cannot plow if it is in bad health. Democrats now want the same for the new slaves coming in.

    Yet we know there are millions of people with untreated conditions due to a lack of affordable access to healthcare.

    Yet, by matter of law and policy, no one is denied medical treatment in the United States.

    Does that change the fact that conditions go untreated because people can not afford treatment? No, it does not.

    Just as they would under our current healthcare system. It's amazing some people don't seem to get this.

    No one is denied Medical treatment in the United States. People are free to obtain it, or not.

    Well, it appears to me that some Americans don't want foreigners or even poor Americans to have access to healthcare.

    It's a license to steal from the treasury.

    Your statement is as applicable to my post as saying today is Thursday. Are you denying millions of people can not afford treatment?

    So I’m going to put you down for a “yes.”

    Illegal aliens aren’t supposed to be here. Will you at least acknowledge that fact? And do you think accessing government services might be part of the magnet that draws them here and keeps them here?

    And it is called Medicare for ALL. Well not all illegal aliens pay into medicare. So they don’t get the medicare, eh?

    So. That does not matter. If they're illegal drainers of the treasury, not citizens, throw them in the back of a pickup and dumb them at the border.

    More for US citizens, nothing for law breakers from other countries.

    Do you count those who have applied for asylum as illegals?

    Do you count the white people who have overstayed their visas as illegals?

    Right NOW there is NOTHING regarding our grossly OVERPRICED healthcare that would draw anyone to the USA so that is just extreme rightwing disinformation.

    I don’t get free treatment when I visit other countries. Are you suggesting foreign tourists get free medical care when they come here for a vacation?

    Of course we will render care to anyone who needs it. But at some point, when you are lucid, you have to fill out the admission forms. We send you a bill...

    Depends on their circumstances and how, when, and where they apply.

    The law does not stipulate race. The rules apply to everyone. If you are out of compliance with oir immigration laws, you are an illegal alien.

    Except when it’s free.
