anyone who receives social security, or is on medicare, earned it. you have to pay in for a fairly long time, before you are eligible for either.

i wouldn't expect someone born in a different country with a golden pickaxe up his ass to know this, but i would expect anyone working in or for or against those parts of the federal government to.

and afaik, states offering medicaid to 'immigrants' and others ineligible by federal guidelines, fund it themselves for those patients--entirely.

federal money, less than 1% of the medicaid budget, goes to fund emergency hospital care. patients ineligible for medicaid itself may receive treatment covered by those funds, but so do 'citizens' (myself being one of those native-born citizens who have).

you must be tired of hearing this, but 'FUCK YOU, MUSKRAT'.. why not, i dunno, go back to where you came from.

As if we're luring anyone for a pittance of social security money and crappy healthcare plans, when Europe exists.
