They (usually) must treat you now that does not mean a whole lot more than keeping you from dying on the spot and getting you stable.
We're not talking about emergency care at the ER (which is something that's guaranteed by international treaties, not just federal law).
My point was that is the only care I feel you are entitled to if you come here illegally.
The main issue with anyone here illegally getting healthcare coverage seems to mostly be that those who are citizens and legal immigrants are not entitled to any coverage unless retired, disabled, or below the poverty line. If everyone had coverage, then this would hardly stand out as a problem in the same way. So instead of naysayers whining that “someone got something I don’t have”, let’s just change the way we approach healthcare and make sure everyone is entitled to have coverage. Medicare for all is a good starting point for discussion.
You are not entitled to other people's labor. People will work with you if you need help paying medical bills, but you are not entitled to anyone's labor just because you need it.
There is no such thing as free somewhere along the line it is being paid for. Again, let me asks you do you think people should be able to buy better medical care. Even with Medicare for example, you can buy other plans to cover the remaining cost. Medicare usually covers 80% of most bills but if a person chooses to they may buy a secondary plan to cover the remaining amount.
No one is suggesting that a concept of Medicare for all would be free. It is a better option than current commercial insurance. I think we would have much better medical coverage if we removed the for profit insurance companies and also removed the tie in to employer benefits. At this point I don’t think most who are struggling with the overpriced commercial coverage available want to pay more for better, they just want something that is actually worth what is paid.
