Every human should have the right to basic healthcare, especially if it means they can be protected in the country they're supposed to feel safe in.

I believe everyone should have healthcare. Just do to you say maybe you are a criminal, no one should have healthcare taken from them.

 @BB8TV7K from Illinois  agreed…4mos4MO

I agree with this comment on basic healthcare for all humans. To deny a person basic help and necessity is inhumane. I do not believe it should be free, just that the assistance should not be denied. All citizens and non-citizens must be responsible for payment.

 @BB8HW69  from Texas  agreed…4mos4MO

I agree that every human being should be treated as a person with the right to be treated in a hospital, regardless of whether they are a citizen or an immigrant.

 @BB8FHFY from Pennsylvania  agreed…4mos4MO

Yea giving them basic healthcare would help them out, they should feel safe wherever they are staying at.

 @BB877YJ from Maryland  agreed…4mos4MO

I agree! Healthcare is a basic right. The U.S. is one of the few first world countries without universal healthcare. Considering we have the resources and doctors, it only makes sense to open healthcare to everyone.

 @BB5C2JP  from Oregon  agreed…4mos4MO

Absolutely agree. Every human deserves healthcare. It doesn't matter if someone is in a country without legal process, if they need healthcare, they should be granted it easily and accessibly.

 @BB8KLSB from Missouri  agreed…4mos4MO

I agree because nobody is different and everyone is the same. Taking away from some people because of who they are and what country they were born into shouldn't affect what kind of healthcare they should be provided with.

 @BB8HZ49 from Missouri  agreed…4mos4MO

I completely agree. Everybody living in the same country should be given the same rights and opportunities.

Elizabeth Warren Walks Back Murder Comments

Congressional Democrats broadly denounced the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson Friday morning, after Republicans started accusing Sen. Elizabeth Warren of excusing violence.“No one's condoning this,” said Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.). “Violence never is the right answer for anything. And it was a horrible murder, a tragic loss for his family.” Warren this week condemned the shooting, but added that people “can be pushed only so far.”"We'll say it over and over," Warren said on MSNBC’S “The ReidOut.” " Violence is never the answer. This guy [Luigi Mangione] gets a trial who's allegedly killed the CEO of UnitedHealth, but you can only push people so far, and then they start to take matters into their own hands."In a statement to POLITICO, Warren said, “Violence is never the answer. Period. I should have been much clearer that there is never a justification for murder.” Top Republicans denounced Warren's comments and the walked-back rhetoric, with House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) calling it “inappropriate and dangerous.”Some House Democrats asked about the incident on Thursday pivoted the conversation to discuss policy options on health care or gun safety.“I don't really know that this is really a space that Congress normally weighs in on,” said Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas). “But at the end of the day, I think it’s an opportunity, because now people are talking about health care and to talk about the fact that this industry has honestly not been as helpful as it could be.”“Violence is never the answer,” said Rep. Troy Carter (D-La.). “We know that there are people suffering, there’s great challenges in healthcare. There's great challenges, and people have, in fact, been wronged, but a process of governance is the way to address that, not violence.”And Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) who denounced the murder, said the killer should be prosecuted and that “I do know that allegedly a ghost gun was used, and we should also ban ghost guns. There's no reason for them beyond the streets.”

Israeli Bombings Kill 2,300 In Lebanon in 3 weeks

Lebanese authorities say Israeli bombing has killed more than 2,300 people and injured almost 11,000, mostly in the past three weeks, with Israeli attacks reaching areas far beyond Hizbollah’s traditional bastions of support in the south.The Israeli military has ordered people living in more than a quarter of Lebanon to flee, according to a UN calculation, as its fight with the Iran-backed Shia militant group Hizbollah threatens to engulf the Mediterranean country.Lebanese authorities say Israeli bombing has killed more than 2,300 people and injured almost 11,000, mostly in the past three weeks, with Israeli attacks reaching areas far beyond Hizbollah’s traditional bastions of support in the south.More than 1mn people have fled their homes in Lebanon in under a month, according to its government, a dramatic forced movement of the population in a country of only about 5mn inhabitants with a land mass smaller than the US state of Connecticut. Israeli forces began a ground offensive in south Lebanon two weeks ago, in their fourth invasion of the country in under five decades. They had already destroyed large parts of the densely populated southern Beirut suburb where Hizbollah had its headquarters, and killed many top militant commanders in air strikes, including former leader Hassan Nasrallah.Rema Jamous Imseis, Middle East director of UNHCR, told journalists in Geneva that “over 25 per cent of [Lebanon is] under a direct Israeli military evacuation order”. “People are heeding these calls to evacuate and they’re fleeing with almost nothing,” she added, saying that 80 per cent of the shelters opened by the Lebanese government — mostly in schools — were now full.
