Republicans have an alternative plan. It's called "let them die in the street"
Or maybe just deport the illegals out of the country to die in their own streets
their own countries have the responsibility of providing healthcare to them
No they do not. No one has the responsibility to provide health care to others. Least of all government which is woefully incapable of doing so
StewNazis have better arguments.
The
Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (
EMTALA)
[1] is an
act of the
United States Congress, passed in 1986 as part of the
Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA). It requires hospital Emergency Departments that accept payments from
Medicare to provide an appropriate
medical screening examination (MSE) to anyone seeking treatment for a medical condition
, regardless of
citizenship,
legal status, or
ability to pay. Participating hospitals may not transfer or discharge patients needing emergency treatment except with the
informed consent or stabilization of the patient or when their condition requires transfer to a hospital better equipped to administer the treatment.
