This is a crisis for me and my family, and I think that will happen.
It'll take a little bit longer, but as more of these notices come out, and here's the one other thing.
On November 1st, you've got to make your decision, starting November 1st.
Do I eliminate health care for my family?
As we talked about, more deductibles, more co-pays.
What do I do?
So we've got to move fairly quickly.
Okay, number one, this bill, what we're fighting for is healthcare insurance.
Medicare, Medicaid, ACA, not one dollar, not one effing dollar can go to an undocumented immigrant.
That's the law, and they haven't shown a single situation where it happens.
Now, maybe they can find something by accident or something.
Is that true or no?
No.
Let me just modify what you said.
Someone, this is a law that's passed in 1986, signed by Ronald Reagan, because people were being turned down from nursing homes, mainly American citizens.
I mean, not nursing homes, from hospitals and emergency rooms who said, you don't have insurance, go somewhere else.
And they die.
So this has always had bipartisan support that people show up in emergency rooms, in real emergencies.
A real answer here, we shouldn't have people going to emergency rooms unless it's a real emergency.
And that's why these community health clinics and these rural hospitals are so important.
