I believe many immigrants are scared to seek health care for themselves due to the high cost. However, creating a private immigration healthcare program will make immigrants more comfortable and continue to establish a system to help them.

 @9FP99WXIndependent from Iowa  agreed…2yrs2Y

The immigrants should have the right to healthcare, they are trying to have a better life than the ones they didn't have back at home. That's their right when coming into the stare.

 @9FP9W2CDemocrat from Minnesota  agreed…2yrs2Y

I agree with this comment and would encourage the government to take this stance because its against their human rights to not be able to seek medical health.

 @9FP4GRC from California  agreed…2yrs2Y

I agree with this comment because immigrants came to America for better health care. The fear of asking for help in a country where they want to keep immigrants out is terrifying. A program that is private is a great idea.

 @9FP6FZN from Pennsylvania  agreed…2yrs2Y

 @9GX8R36Democratdisagreed…2yrs2Y

If the immigrant has a deadly disease and isn't cured then the immigrant could die. We don't want them to die even though they aren't a citizen. We should cure the immigrant only if the immigrant has a deadly disease.

 @9H26N5Zdisagreed…2yrs2Y

they should be allowed to have any type of health care they can afford whether it be public or private.

 @9GSF5BQ from California  disagreed…2yrs2Y

There is no reason for them to get certain healthcare they deserve the same treatment regardless of their race.

 @9GZ88ZJdisagreed…2yrs2Y

Americans have the right to healthcare and they do too. They also have their medical needs that can be costly at times.

 @9GVCMQR from Missouri  disagreed…2yrs2Y

Some people come here with nothing. If something happens to them and they don't purchase the private healthcare, they won't be able to get some funding that they need to be able to afford the services.

 @9FLH2F3 from Texas  disagreed…2yrs2Y

A lot of immigrants coming in from countries usually don't have the money to purchase private healthcare. Because of this, we should provide healthcare to immigrants.

 @9GVQTPTWomen’s Equality from Hawaii  disagreed…2yrs2Y

Yes, but private healthcare can have many more benefits rather than having to go to an actual hospital where the individual risks getting deported back to their country.

 @9FTQ56P from Pennsylvania  disagreed…2yrs2Y

If immigrants are granted to purchase private healthcare, the price should be reasonable for them due to them probably having very little money when they decided to come to the U.S.

 @9GYV2LM from California  disagreed…2yrs2Y

I believe all people who struggle financially or have no food should be able to have a private healthcare

 @9G35X2T from Washington  disagreed…2yrs2Y

I believe many immigrants are scared to seek health care for themselves due to the high cost. However, creating a private immigration healthcare program will make immigrants more comfortable and continue to establish a system to help them.

 @9GNW588 from Pennsylvania  disagreed…2yrs2Y

immigrants have a right to health care. many immigrants are human and need treatment and care just like we do. Many immigrants are scared and have a fear of being judged or mistreated so they dont seek out healthcare, it should encouraged that they do.

 @9GKZZQV from Nevada  disagreed…2yrs2Y

Alot of immigrants moved to the USA with barely enough money to start a new life making them use our unfair and broken private healthcare system is unfair

 @9GCMZV5 from Indiana  disagreed…2yrs2Y

Most illegal immigrants left their country to escape the horrors of their own home and government. They should be allowed for government paid health care.

 @9FWB2MW from Oregon  disagreed…2yrs2Y

I would agree with that because it shows another way of being able to take care of immigrants and to also have mainly everything translated into their language to help them understand more of what they need to do to take care of their health and their families.

 @9GGX54J from California  disagreed…2yrs2Y

Private healthcare is good so immigrants can have it, but it's too much money, and private business can steal their money.

 @9FV7KR7Republican from Texas  disagreed…2yrs2Y

Yes, I agree with this, if they can pay for it they can have it, why do they want our healthcare it's expensive.

 @9FTXMH6 from Illinois  disagreed…2yrs2Y

Everyone should be able to have the same rights and not care about their race or color everyone is equal and each person has the right to choose.

 @9H3FNLDSocialist from Illinois  disagreed…2yrs2Y

There is no reason for them to get certain healthcare they deserve the same treatment regardless of their race.

 @9HFRM8R from Virginia  disagreed…2yrs2Y

America is the land of the free and everyone should be allowed healthcare, whether or not they are a citizen.

 @9FLRV6QDemocrat from Virginia  disagreed…2yrs2Y

I think is very ignorant because knowing that they came from a country with no money no food no shelter and now they want them to pay for basic needs that the government can clearly provide for everyone.

 @9H373DC from Virginia  disagreed…2yrs2Y

Most immigrants aren't able to purchase private healthcare due to economic issues. Being given healthcare in general to them for free, should be the first priority.

 @9FNZ3HT from California  disagreed…2yrs2Y

everyone should have the same rights and rich people should not be allowed to purchase private healthcare

 @9GX287XPeace and Freedom from Connecticut  disagreed…2yrs2Y

People who are lower income or immigrants may not ba enable to have access to private health care or can't afford it.

 @9FLFYZ7 from North Carolina  disagreed…2yrs2Y

I think this would be vastly out of proportion and that everyone whether coming from domestic or foreign regions should be entitled to healthcare

 @9G8KFBNLibertarian  from California  disagreed…2yrs2Y

its a second option, sometimes immigrants live in fear which leads them to not want to participate in that.

 @9GLBMJB from Indiana  disagreed…2yrs2Y

could create inequality by perpetuating the exclusion of immigrants and perpetuating the exclusion of low-income immigrants. Providing health care to all immigrants regardless of their ability to pay promotes equity and ensures that everyone has access to necessary health care.

 @9GBFMG6 from California  disagreed…2yrs2Y

40% of immigrants live below the poverty line here in the U.S. and many more are living close to it.

 @9G34R9SIndependent from Nebraska  disagreed…2yrs2Y

While allowing undocumented immigrants to purchase private healthcare is a step in the right direction, it may not address the healthcare needs of those who cannot afford it. Providing access to affordable healthcare for all can help ensure that everyone receives the necessary medical attention, regardless of their financial situation. It promotes equality and ensures that healthcare is not limited to those who can afford it.

 @9G8C382 from California  disagreed…2yrs2Y

private healthcare is more expensive. Why should they pay taxes like US citizens but not be allowed to share the same benefits.

 @9GMNLGP from Illinois  disagreed…2yrs2Y

Immigrants tend to be low income unless they have connections, they should be able to afford healthcare

 @B5G4ZR7 from Arizona  disagreed…2mos2MO

letting people buy private healthcare is not enough because many immigrants cannot afford it. Everyone should have a chance to get basic care, even if they do not have a lot of money. Good health is important for all people, and helping each other makes our whole community stronger and safer

 @B5CKSHLDemocrat from North Carolina  disagreed…2mos2MO

i dont agree with that everyone is equal and should have the same human rights as everyone so they should have the right to get the same healthcare as anyone else.

 @B4QSBYY from Texas  disagreed…3mos3MO

While allowing undocumented immigrants to purchase private healthcare sounds fair on the surface, it ignores the reality that many of them work low-wage jobs without benefits and simply can’t afford private insurance. According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, nearly half of undocumented immigrants are uninsured, largely due to cost and lack of access to employer coverage.

If we say they can only use private insurance — knowing full well most can’t afford it — we’re basically denying them healthcare altogether. This can lead to serious public health problems, as…  Read more

 @B4PJVY9Democrat  from New Hampshire  disagreed…3mos3MO

Private healthcare is so much more expensive than public. It would be extremely difficult for an undocumented immigrant to get a job that would pay well enough for them to be able to afford private healthcare. The right to healthcare is a human right.

 @B3WF773 from California  disagreed…4mos4MO

Why provide or sell American benefits and treat them as some but yet not give them the title to be Americans? If illegal immigrants are treated as Americans then why not give them the citizenship?

 @B3D4V8T from Illinois  disagreed…4mos4MO

I feel like it would really be a problem it would just be more expensive and immigrants wouldn't really purchase private health care

 @B2ZM77NDemocrat from Wisconsin  disagreed…5mos5MO

This could be something granted to them because it could be beneficial to some and will allow them to get help from healthcare.

 @B29FTY5 from Nevada  disagreed…6mos6MO

even with the ability to buy private insurance, many undocumented immigrants would still face significant barriers to accessing healthcare due to high costs, language barriers, and fear of deportation, ultimately leading to poorer overall health outcomes for the community and potentially increased strain on the healthcare system;

 @9Z9QY53 from California  disagreed…8mos8MO

Healthcare is becoming more and more expensive, why should we have to pay that much no just immigrants?

 @9N74HZX from California  disagreed…1yr1Y

The majority of immigrants that come into the US are without money and if they try to find jobs to gain money they are either racially profiled/hate crimed.

 @9M8W9KM from Colorado  disagreed…1yr1Y

Private healthcare is woefully ineffective in the united states, all resources should focus on funding public single payer healthcare like the UK’s nhs, they pay less per tax dollar and get more equitable and desirable outcomes.

 @9M5DTZ5 from Texas  disagreed…1yr1Y

Immigrants work hard and them not being able to purchase private healthcare is not giving the same opportunity as everyone else. They work hard, pay their taxes, go to work everyday, pay their rent, create their own family, they're just like any other family, they're all humans, we're all human. Plus if every law complies to them, they should be able to get every benefit everyone else has.

 @9LXCK84Independent from Arkansas  disagreed…1yr1Y

I don't believe an illegal immigrant should recieve free health care funded by citizens of the United States, unless they pay taxes or purchases their own health insurance

 @9LVWNFHdisagreed…1yr1Y

They won't be in the country for long, so theres no reason to get them started on something they won;t be around for.

 @9LTT3D4Republican from South Dakota  disagreed…1yr1Y

We must not pit immigration policy and health care needs against one another. We need better policy on immigration, and that policy should confront ...

 @9KY2TCXDemocrat from Missouri  disagreed…1yr1Y

Like I said beforehand it’s not like they have all the money in the world when they first immigrate to the US

 @9FQHWXRWomen’s Equality from Oklahoma  disagreed…2yrs2Y

Not all of them deserve to receive healthcare, but if they pay taxes and do not commit any crimes, and just want to work and make a living here they have all the right to receive healthcare.

 @9FQ4LVJ from Texas  disagreed…2yrs2Y

Being a US citizen requires a lot of time and while they are trying to achieve the American dream, working hard every day, they need health care the most.

 @9FLXKQP from Texas  disagreed…2yrs2Y

not many people have had the same starts in life, life is unfair and some people just cant afford healthcare. healthcare should be free in the first place.

 @9FLSYMY from California  disagreed…2yrs2Y

not many people have had the same starts in life, life is unfair and some people just cant afford healthcare. healthcare should be free in the first place.

 @9FLNHZH from North Carolina  disagreed…2yrs2Y

It is my position that our health system should in no way allow the care of someone who is seriously ill or injured to be compromised

 @9FLK7S9from Maine  disagreed…2yrs2Y

We are all human beings and we should all be provided with the same rights. Not everyone comes from money and we all aren't able to afford private healthcare.

 @9LZ5LNF from Arkansas  disagreed…1yr1Y

Many immigrants whether considered illegal or not, have problems getting access to healthcare due to not being able to comunicate what is needed. being able to purchase private healthcare would help to fix the problem while not using up too many reasources from the us.

 @9LTLRSL from Texas  disagreed…1yr1Y

many immigrants are scared to seek health care for themselves due to the high cost. However, creating a private immigration healthcare program will make immigrants more comfortable

 @9FQ4S6S from California  disagreed…2yrs2Y

I would say that people that come from immigration should not be allowed to get healthcare, but they should have a chance to become citizens and get it that way.

 @9FLKX6LDemocrat from Illinois  disagreed…2yrs2Y

This disadvantages illegal immigrants and allows private companies to take advantage of them, compared to public heathcare.

 @9FLHTTF from Georgia  disagreed…2yrs2Y

We are all human beings and we should all be provided with the same rights. Not everyone comes from money and we all aren't able to afford private healthcare.

 @9FLHLKRConstitution from Texas  disagreed…2yrs2Y

If they pay taxes and do not commit any crimes and just want to work and make a living here they have all the right to receive healthcare.

 @9FJF593Republican from Pennsylvania  disagreed…2yrs2Y

I believe if the people coming into the United States are coming illegally they should not have Healthcare. They should be able to become a regular citizen and get it that way.

 @9LSHJWV from Kansas  disagreed…1yr1Y

One of the main reasons immigrants come to america is for healthcare and do deny that it is just messed up. They deserve the same rights and to be treated the same as everyone else.

 @CreamDream  from Indiana  disagreed…1yr1Y

Private healthcare is a scan everyone should have public healthcare. This allows for you to show off what youvd learned.

 @9LVPBXLWomen’s Equality from Texas  disagreed…1yr1Y

Because health care is so expensive, I think a lot of immigrants are afraid to get it for themselves. However, establishing a private immigration healthcare program will continue to build a system of assistance and increase the comfort of immigrants.

 @9LV2635 from Colorado  disagreed…1yr1Y

They shouldn't because if you got private health care I would hope that not a lot of people get it so the doctors would only do like maybe 3 a year and would not get a lot of money. Also I think that everyone should have health care so a regular one is fine, and people spend lots of money on health care so you shouldn't buy it because of that.

 @9LQ4SBLdisagreed…1yr1Y

Immigrant should not be provided with medicare but they can purchase a privathe healthcare so that the buisness can grow and have more buyers

 @9H4H8G2 from Ohio  disagreed…2yrs2Y

This doesng make sense bevcause if were trying to get rid of them how would they do this and they were gone.

 @9LZLDBF  from North Carolina  disagreed…1yr1Y

Undocumented immigrants pay tax dollars that are put into government-subsidized healthcare. They should be allowed to reap the benefits of where their earned money is going.

 @9GSC747 from Missouri  disagreed…2yrs2Y

The best counter-argument for immigrants should purchase private healthcare is "Are you going to pay more for immigrants to purchase private healthcare?"

 @9GJT3JQ  from Texas  disagreed…2yrs2Y

I believe immigrants should be allowed to choose whichever healthcare is most convienient for them in the United States. It shouldn't be an issue in question, as long as it's able to balance out with their financial stability.

 @9LVQBRF from California  disagreed…1yr1Y

Many aren't financially stable to afford food on their table much alone with private healthcare. This could affect many living with no healthcare and being in a position that their health isn't important.

 @9LTZWQK  from California  disagreed…1yr1Y

they should if they have the financial money and they can afford it they should have all the right to provide any healthcare they want

 @9GTCSP2 from Nebraska  disagreed…2yrs2Y

 @9GKTKXN from Texas  disagreed…2yrs2Y

Many critics of universal health care cite the potential costs of implementation as the primary reason for their opposition.

 @9GHLXBF from Pennsylvania  disagreed…2yrs2Y

I think they should be allowed because nobody should be left to die, for they don't want to be in debt

 @9GBWBZR from Arkansas  disagreed…2yrs2Y

I appreciate the gesture of letting us have a chance to have health care and help us. i agree we could have a private health care.

 @9G57V53 from Texas  disagreed…2yrs2Y

I believe many immigrants are scared to seek health care for themselves due to the high cost. However, creating a private immigration healthcare program will make immigrants more comfortable and continue to establish a system to help them.

 @9GNLWN6 from California  disagreed…2yrs2Y

The immigrants should have the right to healthcare, they are trying to have a better life than the ones they didn't have back at home. That's their right when coming into the stare.

 @9GJCYNL from Illinois  disagreed…2yrs2Y

That is absolutely not right, illegal immigrants typically have a lower income than that of the average person using government healthcare. So why should they have to pay more just because they are not from here? The US is one of the leading countries in medical innovation and providing treatment so it is only fair we offer that to as many people in need as we can.

 @9GD49XY from Virginia  disagreed…2yrs2Y

I agree with this comment because immigrants came to America for better health care. The fear of asking for help in a country where they want to keep immigrants out is terrifying. A program that is private is a great idea.
