I actively boycott any and all ID businesses, because of the state's shitty labor and reproductive-rights laws and its nurture of Christofascism. They can Gilead all they want but it won't be with my financial support.
They just come into WA for the medical center and clog up the system. ID residents should be banned from receiving medical care in WA.
They should not, but they should pay "out of state" fees if they make over a certain amount.
I think Idaho should have to cover those fees as a penalty for not providing healthcare. Spokane’s hospital is over capacity pretty often, and a good portion of them are from Idaho.
That sounds like interstate commerce, so any law requiring that would have to come from Congress
But I think accelerationist policies often hurt vulnerable people...
They can go to their own hospitals instead of placing the burden on Washington
Sure. But this is kinda just accelerationism/xenophobia, no? For example, replace "Idaho" with "Mexico" in your argument, and it gets pretty ugly pretty fast IMHO.
Mexicans are sick and tired of Americans and their medical tourism coming down to Mexico for affordable health and dental care
Are they? They seem to be happy to take our money.
Does it? I think Canadians have hospitals and they can use those. Not seeing the ugly.
I’m seeing you being slapped in the face with their point and just refusing to acknowledge it. Cringe AF.
And what, die? I think keeping people alive and preventing unnecessary deaths should be the priority first and foremost. Idaho should be made to improve their healthcare infrastructure, and then we can force them to stay in their state.
But as of right now, the idea of turning someone down at the hospital because their ID says a different state does not sit well with me.
Idaho needs to help Idahoans, and not push them onto another state.
So... Nobody should work across state lines... In the "United" states... Doesn't sound very United.
Work? Not what I said, but feel free to create your own narrative while I ignore you.
If people work across state lines, or travel at all, they need hospital services. You didn't say it, but a moment of thought would have revealed the implications.
If they are in the state and have an emergency, fine. But anything else they really need to burden their own tax payers.
Ok so why not just federalize health and bypass this me me meeeeee histrionic problem?
I’m fine with that as long as states don’t get to make laws that affect federal hospitals thereby pushing people to other states to create an unneeded burden on the out of state hospital.
Just... Pay for capacity in your population centers in some equitable way.
OH, OH!!! you could run for healthcare as a public service instead of a profit center 🤡
I don’t think you know what a hospital looks like when it is over capacity 🤡 but keep on talking like you know stuff.
Yeah I make a point to avoid backwater 3rd world countries like the USA
Where do you live?
You could do your own homework and make an educated guess, but you won't, so I guess I have to spoon feed you an answer of "Canada"
Why would I make assumptions about where you live when I can just ask you?
And for a Canadian, you have a pretty unhealthy obsession with the United States. 🍁🤡
