Agreed.

Amazingly, Warren and Sanders have said that Medicare for All would imclude illegal immigrants.

There's no way such a thing works, ever.[/quote]

Elaborate please. What benefits would the Warren/Sanders plans provide to illegal immigrants and under what circumstances?

If they're saying that under their plan, ERs will treat motor vehicle accident victims, then I don't see the problem. If they're saying that their plan will provide illegal immigrants with 20 years of cancer treatments, then that's problematic. [/quote]

Sanders and Warren have explicitly said that the "for all" part includes undocumented immigrants, same as everyone else. [/quote]

Citation? I don't think they said anything this sweeping. [/quote]

"In a landmark agreement to expand California's Medicaid program,
state lawmakers struck a deal this week with Democratic Gov. Gavin
Newsom to cover the health care costs of an estimated 90,000
non-citizens living without legal permission in the Golden State."

...

"We have to join the rest of the industrialized world and guarantee
health care to all, including the undocumented," Sanders declared to
cheers last month in Pasadena, at a presidential forum organized by
immigrant rights groups.
