Speak to professionals covering ER’s/trauma centers about healthcare for non-citizens. They can’t provide details but the eye rolls are all telling and they will tell you those patients are not paying. The current media wouldn’t miss a chance to tell you instantly if a runny nose or a booboo wasn’t treated. They appear to have better medical care available than most.
BUT still no illegal immigrants are purchasing health insurance for themselves.

Chris Conover makes some good points, none of which is new and all should be discussed and validated....not that he lied buy he took some liberties with some stats for sure.

For those who are interested in reading...here is the link and it is from early 2018.

How American Citizens Finance $18.5 Billion In Health Care For Unauthorized Immigrants

Now, lets be clear. I am not, nor never was advocating anything. There is so much junk information and actual lies being circulated because nobody talks to each other.

You posted this line to which I responded...."Canada has a form of universal coverage but they do not provide coverage for people who are in the country illegally. I'm sure that is the same in many if not all of the other countries who have "free" healthcare."


You "implication" and statement is not true at all as related to our country. This is what my objection is.....people simply say stuff with no regard to as if it were true.
