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
Are they? They seem to be happy to take our money.
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.
Does it? I think Canadians have hospitals and they can use those. Not seeing the ugly.
I’m seeing you being slapped in the face with their point and just refusing to acknowledge it. Cringe AF.
Do you live in Spokane?
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.
They clearly aren’t the kind of person who participates in rational conversation.
Ran away before learning. Lame.
