Leavitt: "When an illegal alien goes to the emergency room, who's paying for it? The American taxpayer."

Someone unconscious is brought to the ER. No ID. Will hospital staff be expected to withhold care until they confirm the person is from the US? Sounds like it's in the best interest for all if care is given to anyone who needs it. 🤷🏼‍♀️

She can thank George W. Bush who signed a law requiring hospitals to treat everyone regardless of ability to pay, but I digress. Perhaps she'd prefer people with communicable diseases not be treated at all, allowing deadly diseases to spread and mutate?

Letting them bleed out would save taxpayers about $200 million per year (60 cents per taxpayer)... While costing taxpayers $300 BILLION in extra insurance costs per year. Tax the rich!

They will undoubtedly go down as the cruelest presidential admin in history. I say that with the awareness that we had the Trail of Tears, internment, etc We’re not even a year in & they want to make it so people die in the hospital parking lot, all to assuage their racism It’s unimaginably cruel

When an American without insurance goes to the emergency room, who's paying for that? It's a question that this fake Christian, Trump butt-kisser had better answer next year when his own base loses their coverage.

So, how does it work under the GOP plan if the person goes to the hospital and needs urgent care? Hmm, let me think, could it be the taxpayer would still have to pay for it in some way, shape or form? Come to think of it, there was a reason Regan put this in place. It is called Morals!!!

Well, I would rather pay for someone’s medical care than a Qatari Jet for a madman. Or a ballroom for a psychopath. Or weekend trips to a gaudy golf course. Or for bombs to blow up boats.

An immigrant who works picking produce (and pays taxes) suffers from heat stroke. According to maga this person can't go to the emergency room? What happens to this poor migrant who works so that we can eat? Just let this person die? What is wrong with maga?

When Trump plays golf, the American taxpayers pay for it. When J.D. Vance goes on vacation, the American taxpayers pay for it. When this mean girl lies, the American taxpayers pay for it. When Hegseth gathers the generals to prance before them, the American taxpayers pay for it.

I’d much rather my tax dollars pay for an emergency room visit by a person here illegally than to pay for trump to play golf or for a pathetically over priced golden ballroom or to bail out Argentina or to pay fascist politician’s salaries…

Hot take, but I think it actually saves us money if we don’t have sick and injured people wandering around. Also, why should I care more about paying for an undocumented person when I’m currently paying for citizens who are reckless and irresponsible?

If an American tourist or expat goes to any emergency room in Europe, they will be treated and in most cases not be asked to pay anything. It is paid by the local tax payers. Wait, are the people in Trump's administration still pretending to be Christians?

I remember in the Parable of the Good Samaritan how the Samaritan just screamed at the injured man half dead in the side of the road to go back to his side of the border and then sicked the equivalent of Jericho ICE on him to get beat up a bit more.

The "pro-life" party everyone, Where your life only matters If you're rich, white, and a "traditional christian" Matthew 10:8 "Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give." I bet it burns for her to wear that cross everyday

The irony is that “who’s paying” are undocumented immigrants. They pay substantial amounts into our healthcare system while being ineligible for its benefits. They subsidize all US ER care, including the care of American citizens.

Worse, she's saying every person suspected of being an illegal immigrant should be put in camps without due process to prevent this hypothetical scenario in which someone receives emergency medical treatment.

Someone tell her you can thank Ronald Reagan for that In 1986, when Reagan signed the law that required hospitals to provide emergency care to anyone at their door regardless of insurance or not, he essentially "socialized" health care in the US. hozzl.com/p/bill/congr...

Yes, those so-called "christian values defenders" don't seem to ask themselves WWJD as much as they should. I mean, how can she wear a cross very publicly and yet support NOT helping those in need?

Outrageous! Helping someone who is so sick they go to an ER. How could the richest nation in the world ever do that!? We need to bailout Argentina! They are ghouls.

Many Americans also don't have health insurance. When an undocumented needs to see a doctor, then goes to work for less than $5/h picking tomatoes on a farm , I'm more than glad to chip in. I'd rather pay that than for Ivanka's secret service detail.

NO The only thing they get is ER treatment Usually covered by "charity care" programs run by hospitals, funded by donors TAXPAYERS DO NOT PAY FOR EMTALA CARE GIVEN BY HOSPITALS EMTALA law from 1986 under Regan designed to prevent ER dumping, refusal of treatment

So Karoline, righteous “Christian” that she is, would doom the undocumented human being to suffer-and possibly die-by denying them EMERGENCY MEDICAL TREATMENT? WWJD Karoline? Definitely NOT THIS. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Why do we feel like we have to make cogent arguments when we know the other side argues in bad faith? What is even the point of debunking all of their stupid fantasies? There should be a "they're eating the cats and dogs" category that really doesn't warrant any replies.

So, you're in another country on vacation. You have an accident that requires medical attention. Does that country deny you the services you need? No, they do not! These people put a hateful spin on everything.

Pretty sure KKKaroline reckons that Jesus said something along similar lines, during his Sermon on the Mount. “Blessed are the insured, for they will exclusively get all the medical treatment” Leaving the poor and needy to die in the hospital parking lot is what Jesus would have done.

We, the same people who, pay for the uninsured that voted for CF47 (including working poor, farmers, etc.) & for Karoline's, CF47's, JDV's Mike J.'s & all in Congress who voted to take away Medicaid/ Medicare $/increase costs for Obamacare pay for it.

So there is 3 options here: 1. Us paying the medical attention of the undocumented worker 2. Letting undocumented immageants die, and in the process a few thousand American deemed unworthy 3. Just make medicare universal...that everyone can get healthcare 🤷‍♂️

If only... Reporter: You wear a cross. I assume you're a Christian. Leavitt: Yes. R: As a Christian then, can you tell us what Jesus would do if a sick undocumented immigrant came to his emergency room looking to be healed? L: Uhhh... R: Follow up...Does that cross burn you when you wear it?
