Hospitals in the USA are required by law to provide emergency medical services under the Emergency Medical Treatment & Labor Act (EMTALA) of 1986. Most hospitals absorb the losses. Medicaid does not cover this care for non-qualified individuals
What they're saying, by the look of it, is that that's one of their current next targets to break.
You have to remember this is still Biden's economy. Trump's boom will start not long after you stop asking why it hasn't started yet. You won't believe how rich everyone is going to be just as soon as you stop talking about not being able to see any signs of improvement. You're jinxing it. Stop spoiling the magic, and just believe harder. Just look forward to everything being 1,000% to 1,200% cheaper, and stop trying to figure out what that means. Everyone's going to be too rich to care about counting their money, with all the trillions the other countries are sending us thanks to Trump.
For what it's worth, under
normal circumstances it takes about 2 years for policy changes to actually really show their effects on the economy. In that sense, it would still be Biden's economy. Much like Trump coasted on Obama's economy, for all that he tried to attribute that to himself. Much like Biden was stuck working hard to fix Trump's economic disaster for at least half of his Presidency as Republicans screamed about how terrible he was. Much like Obama was screamed at by Republicans as they actively worked to sabotage him, too, as he worked to try to clean up their mess.
With that said, Trump's overwhelming sabotage of the economy is
not normal. During his first term, the thing that headed off the economy crapping out because of Republican economic sabotage was the economy crapping out related to their sabotage in other areas and extreme mismanagement overall. This time, Trump's gone all in on sabotaging the economy in ways that have very immediate effects.
You mean looking out for the interests of all human beings, yes?
That's pretty much what it comes down to, yes. With that said, the Democratic Party is much less noble as a whole than many of its advocates like to portray it. Where Democrats actually do act to support "illegals" are generally areas that end up benefiting American citizens and the country as a whole far more than the "support" that they offer. Insofar as they're looking out for the interests of those "illegals," they're looking out for the interests of the US. Something of a case in point is the ongoing saga of Democrats supporting "due process," rather than the innocence or guilt of particular people. That was far less about supporting the person in question and far more about resisting decidedly Republican efforts to steal foundational rights from *all* American citizens. Relatively few of the accusations that Democrats are supporting "illegals" have much factual weight to them in the first place, though, as is again the case here where it has none at all.
Vance: "If you're an American citizen and you've been to the hospital in the last few years, you've probably noticed that wait times are especially large and very often somebody who's there in the ER is an illegal alien. Why do those people get healthcare benefits at hospitals paid for by American citizens?"
...The logic here. There are long waits and a tiny portion of that is caused by illegals. Even if we accept this unevidenced assertion, the obvious thing to do would be to work to address the major causes for the problem, not focus solely on what even he's presenting as a minor cause. What makes this worse, of course, is that the Republicans have been the ones outright sabotaging hospitals and that this shutdown is in part due to their attempts to sabotage hospitals more and again.
So where are the tweets from democrats debunking all this stuff ? Mediasphere is also a battlefield. These days even more important than the reality.
To some extent, does it matter where the tweets from the Democrats are? There are plenty floating about, of course, but there are very important things to be said about how algorithms tend to notably reduce their impact, not least because most of the most influential social media algorithms have been repeatedly tweeked to give Republicans more and more of an advantage, on top of how they have a notable role in solidifying polarization.
Going further to the rest of the media, what are their financial incentatives to amplify sensible Democratic Party voices, really? Generally notably less than they have to amplify craziness to hook the emotions of passersby.
