Just south of us are 26million uninsured people who desperately need healthcare and 100million in medical debt. We can’t afford to support them, nor do i really want to more directly support america. So how do we, from a legal point of view, differentiate between the small sustainable group of people above vs the potential huge group of people, niether would have paperwork, both need help.
This isn’t just concern trolling, if you have a genuine answer to that question I’m all ears, but I have 0 doubt in my mind that if there’s a backdoor way for Americans to get canadian healthcare they will take that option en mass.
I think the best way to solve the program of the undocumented workers above is to make the path to legal immigration easier to transfer into and to grant medical coverage earlier in the immigration process.
if the person needing help needs a non urgent medical care … then you can spend the time and energy defending the merits of legality and funding
if the person is losing, has lost their limbs for whatever reason and treatment will further affect their long term well being … then treat them due to compassion and don’t send them into a bureaucratic hell hole

On a case by case basis for the moment
if the person needing help needs a non urgent medical care … then you can spend the time and energy defending the merits of legality and funding
if the person is losing, has lost their limbs for whatever reason and treatment will further affect their long term well being … then treat them due to compassion and don’t send them into a bureaucratic hell hole
