Illegal immigrants, as well as legal immigrants in the country less than five years, are not eligible for free healthcare through Medicaid. A 2007 study estimated that less than 1 percent of Medicaid spending went to healthcare for illegal immigrants. Proponents of subsidized healthcare for immigrants argue that increased access to basic preventive care will lower the demand for costly emergency care. Opponents argue that immigrants in the healthcare system run the risk of becoming "permanent patients," because they have no relatives, insurance or an established address where they can go once released.

Healthcare is too expensive for heavy help, however, concerning low cost treatments (to be determined) should be available. However, if they are offered so, they should owe some years of service (whatever the job is not necessary military) to the government (what you can’t pay with money, you pay with tie)
They should be treated but upon completing treatment they should be given the choice to go through processing for citizenship or deported, responsibility on them. If they end up failing to take the steps towards citizenship and end up needing medical care again, they should be treated and automatically deported.
Yes if they are in life threatening situations or have an infectious disease. Then their children should have access
Depending on if they want to stay if they do the right processing and requirements i think they should be allowed to stay. Also there background and intentions
Yes, and grant them citizenship as long as their background check is relatively clean.
If they don't get in trouble, have a job, don't do anything wrong than yes they should be granted citizenship and government healthcare.
No because their should already be a healthcare set up for their country. Yes if they are in need of better healthcare and take steps the same way an American does to keep their healthcare
Yes, but deported and set with essentials in order to keep their life together for at least a year after treatment
if they cant afford anything else then yes
Depends on why they are in the country and if it’s to terrorize people or to just live
Yes, after they are granted citizenship and they are working legally
yes and should be granted citizenship after background checks
I mean, they should have just come here legally, but if a woman is giving birth she needs medical attention. So, it depends
EVERYBODY should be treated EQUALLY and if people can't come to the fact that we're all human and think that people who come from somewhere else rather than the US is an "immigrant" you're pathetic as hell .
Only if they are in need of medical help and not faking it
Yes, because they deserve treatment as well. We are all human beings here and they have a right to treatment just as much as us citizens do.
Yes, everyone’s health should care
if they already pay taxes,has a job,and has no criminal record then yes and grant them citizenship.
If they pay taxes or if it's life threatening or infectious.
Yes, should have access to government subside healthcare but If they pay taxes and are willing to become a citizen or process.
Yes, but only after becoming a citizen and paying taxes
yes, just backcheck them and if they have no problems in their history, make them a citizen and give them subsidized healthcare.
Yes, As long as they pay taxes and keep a good criminal record
Yes, and after care and time to gather belongings (supervised) they will be taken out of country until they have gone through the process to live in the US.
Yes for acceptable for old peoples and require strict background checks
Yes if they are actively working towards acquiring citizenship/if they are in a life threatening situation
No, they should become citizens but citizenship should be easier to obtain
