      Sure. But this is kinda just accelerationism/xenophobia, no? For example, replace “Idaho” with “Mexico” in your argument, and it gets pretty ugly pretty fast IMHO.

        Mexicans are sick and tired of Americans and their medical tourism coming down to Mexico for affordable health and dental care

            But the correct answer to the problem is passing the bill to the country of origin. That way the origin country is pressured to make things better.

          I’m seeing you being slapped in the face with their point and just refusing to acknowledge it. Cringe AF.

              There is no context that provides for bad faith exchanges. And I don’t engage with bad faith actors other than to call them out. If you want respect and well reasoned engagement you have to provide the same or else people will ignore you, like I am going to do, or block you, which only exacerbates your echo chamber. Best of luck, Citizen.

                lol. I was asking them because if they didn’t, I would explain why people from Idaho are a drain on Spokane’s healthcare. Instead, they ran away. Hilarious.

                  My friend, that was already explained in this thread. I think people just generally have a problem with denying people medical care for any reason.

                    “My friend” means “hey asshole”

                    Don’t be a dick. Also, not my fault they didn’t read the thread.

      And what, die? I think keeping people alive and preventing unnecessary deaths should be the priority first and foremost. Idaho should be made to improve their healthcare infrastructure, and then we can force them to stay in their state.

      But as of right now, the idea of turning someone down at the hospital because their ID says a different state does not sit well with me.

          So… Nobody should work across state lines… In the “United” states… Doesn’t sound very United.

              If people work across state lines, or travel at all, they need hospital services. You didn’t say it, but a moment of thought would have revealed the implications.

                If they are in the state and have an emergency, fine. But anything else they really need to burden their own tax payers.

                    I’m fine with that as long as states don’t get to make laws that affect federal hospitals thereby pushing people to other states to create an unneeded burden on the out of state hospital.
