Dear Democratic Leadership: Please adopt this talking point!

This basically shuts down the “Dems want to give free healthcare to illegals” bullshit.

Trump used an EO and then the Big Bullshit Bill to end REAGAN’s EMTALA which ensured publicly funded hospitals can’t turn away any patient, even if they don’t have insurance.

Also, please hire this woman and people like her who can communicate these messages so clearly and succinctly.

partially correct because feds reimburses for emergency room visits'. As though the whole dem position has to do with spending money on undocumented non-citizens. And they don't mention that anyone who isn't covered owes money for their visit. Not free.

It's the same as saying the Dept of Transportation spends 100s of billions of dollars on undocumented drivers...because it builds roads and highways which undocumented then drive on.

poor messaging / poor journalism = WH occupied by sociopaths
