[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] As a conservative I would be more than willing to institute this provided we end birthright citizenship, deport all illegal immigrants, and end chain migration of non-working foreign relatives. Socialized healthcare is too much of an incentive for people who haven't paid into the system.[/quote]

I live in a border city, just a few miles from Mexico.

People aren’t sneaking across for healthcare. Quite the opposite, they generally refuse to get medical treatment because they don’t want to be deported.

They generally come here to work hard labor jobs like construction, get paid less than minimum wage under the table, so they can send the money back home. People complain but don’t realize that without them, house prices would probably double because you’d have to pay Americans a living wage to do construction, cap the workweek at 40 hours (or else have to pay time and a half), and hire twice as many people.

Also, like…they’re people. I don’t mind giving human beings medical care. Many clinics here offer free or sliding scale services to help out people because it’s the right thing to do.

So bizarre to me how conservatives claim to promote family values and be pro-life, when there are millions of human beings they would happily watch suffer and die. [/quote]
