What does “come second” mean? Like they wait in a longer line? They get worse doctors?

And just because other countries don’t help immigrants is hardly an argument that they shouldn’t be helped. WHY shouldn’t they get health care?

You didn’t ask a question. You made two statements implying that holding this company accountable for illegal actions, robbing people of money, is harmful.

Go fuck yourself.

Yeah you didn’t say that the state isn’t doing all it can though. You said to solve mental health and homelessness before giving health care to people.

If the person you are a caretaker for was undocumented, would you withhold care? Should they get less care? Should they just get shipped back to where they came from? Or should they get the best possible care, regardless of immigration status, because they are a person in need?

Yeah “solve mental health” but no health insurance for those poors! Great idea!

Any other cliche TV quotes you want to throw out?

I’ve got a wacky idea. What if we treated people as people and didn’t discriminate based on where they happened to be born? Especially in this case where we’re talking about people who live in the state, report their income, and pay taxes contributing to everyone’s state funded healthcare.

“we’re not even covering our own citizens”

“We” already are. If by “we” you mean Californians.

Also what’s the alternative here? ER’s can’t deny help based on insurance. So if an immigrant goes to the hospital, should the hospital foot the bill or should that be covered by the state?

Bringing homelessness, crime, and drugs into this is a false dichotomy. Those are separate issues. But hey if people aren’t going broke from getting sick maybe homelessness, crime, and drug use may go down. If you’re trying to fix those issues then health care should be top of your list anyway.

And like other comments have stated, they DO pay taxes.

And all that being said, when I need to go to the dentist, I go to Mexico because it’s cheaper even with health insurance here.

I swear to god I was just making shit up. I actually described a real movie?! That’s hilarious!

“The appeals court said that Apple could continue selling its watches temporarily, while the company waited to hear back on whether proposed changes to its watches would avoid the patent issues.”

Aw okay you can have just a little illegal patent infringement, as a treat.

Chinese media: everything is perfect in an uncanny valley sort of way

Mexican media: drugs, Jesus, boobs, or cartels

French media: like a student film with a budget

Indian media: this guy just punched a car so hard it turned into a transformer, then he turned into a transformer, then they fought and now everyone’s dancing

They’re just like us

I really don’t want to see the worst of reddit on this site. Turts put wayyy too much of their time into reddit and made it way too much of their sense of self worth. That being said the insane shit he had to put up with from people would drive anyone to a dark place. Shit there are even other users who redditors assume are a Turt alt that are getting harassed. If you have any vested interest in this topic at all, you are exactly as much of the problem as Turtle. Let reddit burn along with all your hate for the former mods and move the fuck on.
