A fair response there, Soopoo, I can't and won't argue it other than to say "Think globally, act locally."

Sorry. You can’t get away with using the word ‘foreigner’. Use the words ‘illegal aliens’ and I’ll agree with you. I have compassion for those still in Mexico because of the millions who’ve jumped the line. You do realize the number of legal spots is decreased as a result of the millions who’ve came here illegally, don’t you?


Because the conversation was WWJD (What Would Jesus Do) and I guess whether MAGA was following anything similar. I don't think Jesus was strictly referring to borders when he was talking about how you treat your "neighbors" or "strangers",

As to the idea that every violation of law HAS to have the same penalty. HOGWASH.

FEDERAL LAW DOESN'T REQUIRE MANDATORY DEPORTATON. *


You're thinking exactly like those hospital inspectors who you complained who were just looking at a regulation or checklist.

*of all illegal aliens.

Anyway, hypocrisy abounds in this administration. White south Afrikaners admitted due to genocide? Not even factual.

As far as ‘the homeless’, I probably took care of thousands over my career. At my hospital they were treated like MrV or Geno.


That was your job, which you knew going into the job. And we thank you for doing your job well.

Then again, providing medical care to those who cannot afford it seems unfair to we who can pay: why not make it free for everybody then?

Whatever happened to "survival of the (economically) fittest?"

When I was in a private practice I just looked at it as OVERALL I made what I considered a very fair income. Not officially, of course, but your insurance probably paid me a little more BECAUSE THEY essentially subsidized the uninsured, and more so, the underinsured, (Medicaid/Medicare).

As I’ve said before, if we were starting from scratch, then yes, it would make sense for everyone to get healthcare for ‘free’. But the government has proven to me to be a disaster at managing Medicaid/Medicare/Workmans Comp. I have ZERO confidence that anything improves with the government in charge.
