    I didn’t call it universal, I called it free. A lot of tourists are covered because of reciprocal agreements with their countries.

    It’s not mandatory health insurance because you’re covered whether you’ve paid the tax or not, cradle to grave, and the original hypothecated payments haven’t covered it for decades.

    It’s free healthcare. I disagree very strongly with some people having an immigration ruling that they have no recourse to public funds, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t free healthcare.
