    Just because we’re not taking good enough care of our veterans doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t be taking care of anyone else in our country in the meantime.

        “Bad” in this case is subjective, unless you can explain what is subpar about the healthcare being provided to the undocumented and we can agree to it?

          @BobaFuttbucker When did I say there was anything subpar about the healthcare being provided to the illegals?

          It seems to be your opinion that illegals are well taken care of, but the #USA isn’t taking good enough care of our veterans. Would this mean that our poor treatment of veterans is intentional?

            lol all I said was the quality of healthcare given to any individual depends on the observer. I made no statement of my own.

            You’re just jumping to conclusions to try to find a way to be outraged, so you can position yourself as the morally superior one.

            Please don’t make statements for me.

            US healthcare costs substantially higher than other developed nations, and our outcomes are not commensurateely higher; they lag behind many countries with much lower healthcare outlays. I would say consistently spending more to get less is a very good definition of “subpar”.

            “Free” healthcare to everyone who makes it to US soil is like the old joke: “we lose money on every sale, but don’t worry, we’ll make it up in volume.”

            The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people’s money.
