If you want full benefits like Medicaid, come here legally, follow the process, and pay taxes the right way — then yeah, you can qualify like any American citizen who needs help. But giving full 'free' health care to people who came illegally feels like rewarding people who skipped the line, and it strains the system for everyone else who played by the rules.

 @B9HCZRQ from Washington  disagreed…5mos5MO

I believe immigrants should legally arrive into the U.S. in the first place to receive and be eligible for Medicaid.

 @B9HRPRS from Missouri  disagreed…5mos5MO

depends if they are a legal or illegal immigrant. if they are illegal, why should i have to work to pay for my health insurance as well as illegals in my country

 @B9H6HB9Republican from Illinois  disagreed…5mos5MO

They are illegal, there are other people in the nation that are waiting to become a CITIZEN then they should get healthcare, but if your an illegal then you shoudnt get heathcare from the tax payer.

 @B9JN5QBRepublican from New Jersey  disagreed…5mos5MO

if there illegal they shouldn't be here in the first place and should be deported but if legally then yes

 @B9H27R5Independent from Kentucky  disagreed…5mos5MO

We pay taxes and don't even get free health insurance. Migrants do not do enough for our country to deserve such benefits, and honestly medicaid as well as other forms of government assistance are biased towards migrants. The majority of Somali, Arab, and other middle eastern migrants are on government assistance compared to the 7% of non middle eastern residents. Abolish medicaid for those who aren't disabled nor elderly.

 @B9H27R5Independent from Kentucky  disagreed…5mos5MO

Most people don't even get free health care. I'm not a socialist, I don't want my hard earned money going to some dude whose been here a year. Migrants often take advantage of the Medicaid system, especially Somali or other middle eastern immigrants.

 @B9H2DNX from Maryland  disagreed…5mos5MO

Immigrants shouldn't be getting free health care and insurances for free hence the real people of the United States of America doesn't even get free health care. All immigrants should have to pay the same we have too.

 @B9HDV52Republican from Minnesota  disagreed…5mos5MO

if we have to pay they should pay, why would we give people that just moved here free stuff while we struggle, i want free health care, not some random people that just moved here.

 @B9H8884 from California  disagreed…5mos5MO

Immigrants are not legal U.S. citizens, therefore the government should not spend money supporting them. Why should the government fund criminals?

 @B9JCB39 from Arizona  disagreed…5mos5MO

I believe that medicaid should be available for those who are in poverty and are too old to continue to work.

 @B9HNC9C  from California  disagreed…5mos5MO

While paying taxes is important, it doesn’t automatically entitle someone—citizen or not—to every public benefit. Taxes support a wide range of services, from infrastructure to defense, and not everyone receives direct benefits from each one. Medicaid, in particular, was designed as a safety-net program for citizens and lawful permanent residents who meet strict eligibility criteria. It’s not meant to extend automatically to anyone who contributes a portion of taxes.

Legal immigrants who have established residency can and often do qualify for Medicaid after meeting fede…  Read more

illegal immigrants should be kicked out of our country and be licking their toes in their home country.

 @B9HGPFW from Oklahoma  disagreed…5mos5MO

an immigrant should not be allowed to have free health insurance because they have not payed the fees to enter the country.

 @B9JX37M from California  disagreed…5mos5MO

Immigrants shouldn’t have to pay taxes as they are not citizens of the United States, but that also means they shouldn’t have the privilege to live in this country. Go through the port of entry.
