[W: #159] Should ICE be Allowed to Prevent an Immigrant Child from Receiving Cancer Treatments?

[Parrish]

This is me responding. There was not an appropriate answer. Deal with it.

We'll take that as a YES vote. Thank you, ma'am.

 

[ALiberalModerate]

They do? Are you seriously saying illegal immigrants are not getting free healthcare in the US?

Yes of course they are. It’s not zero sum though. We don’t trade care for an American by providing an illegal immigrant healthcare.

You can take it however you want. Doesn’t mean it is correct. But I do indeed find your response entertaining.

 

[TamleeB]

Wonderful. So yes…..Illegal immigrants are receiving medical care and American citizens struggled for medical care. Got it. Thanks for helping me out with this one.

The correct answer should be that a child or anyone needing lifesaving care should be treated.

This is not what @ALiberalModerate has said, as we all see in his/her/their Post #127.


That you seem to feel a need to justify your position that denying a sick child much-needed medical care is okay if that child is "illegal" doesn't give you leeway to misrepresent what another poster has said.

Perhaps you are feeling defensive about your anti-child, anti-life stance on this issue, but, still, you should strive for accurate depictions of others' messages.

I gave an answer. If you don’t like it. Meh…

I am good with my stance. No justification needed. it is what it is.

While Congress is now voting to withhold care from citizens, elderly, disabled and the poor, as we speak.

You didn't vote. That means yes.

That is what congress does. Always have and always will. Republican or Democratic…they piss off some Americans with their votes. There never has been and never will be a time when our Congress can will please all voters.

 

[TamleeB]

You didn't vote. That means yes.

Actually it means exactly what I said. There was no appropriate answer I could vote on. Read into it whatever pulls your trigger. It is totally meaningless.

 

[Pyrite]

You didn't vote. That means yes.

It doesn't really matter.

The poster's messages on this thread indicate he/she/they is comfortable with ICE's refusing to provide appropriate and needed medical care for a child who is "illegal".

Of course. You too! Don’t let the bed bugs bite

One has nothing to do with the other. I am sorry this is a difficult concept for you. Moreover, your argument is as disingenuous as it gets. If we banned every illegal immigrant from getting any healthcare in the United States, would you be in favor of universal healthcare for Americans?

No…I don’t believe universal health care would be good for our Country. Universal health care often means reduced choices, longer wait times, reduced choice of doctors and treatment options. And also the decrease of quality care due to increase of demand. Not to mention the increase on taxes.

So, let me get this right. You believe illegals take healthcare from Americans that go without because you believe we are using the money for those illegals, yet even if we banned illegals from getting any healthcare, you aren’t in favor of using that money supposedly spent on illegals to ensure all Americans have healthcare.

Just for people of color.

I doubt she cares about poor white kids either. It’s a rationalization for a reprehensible position.

Yes, sir.

 

[Hamish Howl]

“Instant case”? I want the legal citizen of the Untied States of America to receive health care before illegal immigrants. Nothing more nothing less. You can make it into more than that if it fits your agenda. I really could care less.

So what you're saying is, no medical care for anyone in the custody of the American justice system.

 

[ALiberalModerate]

Yes, sir.

There is nothing more biblical than to offer food and care to strangers in your home. If an immigrant is here and needs care, they should get it.

That argument only works on Christians. So about 20 people in the USA.
