So this is a response to the fictional Dems that the GOP ran against. The goal is targeting the imaginary GOP voters that will switch sides. Meanwhile, ignoring the millions that don't vote becuz their issues are ignored. So more of the same. Brilliant!

Treatment in the ER is NOT dependent on insurance or citizenship status, nor should it be.
Vance: "If you're an American citizen & you've been to the hospital in the last few years, you've probably noticed wait times are especially large & very often somebody who's there in the ER is an illegal alien. Why do those people get healthcare benefits at hospitals paid for by American citizens?"
