Bernie wants to provide Medicare For All to undocumented immigrants

This stance won’t go over well. It’s actually a WTF moment for me.

From the article linked below:

“Sanders he’d expand access to health care for undocumented immigrants.

“When we talk about Medicare for All, it means all,” he said. “It means every man, woman and child in this country, including the undocumented. Medicare for all means there are no longer any premiums, co-payments, absurd deductibles or out-of-pocket expenses.”

immigrants, especially if they are paying taxes, etc.

GOPers — and even some Dems who question MFA — will use that against us in general election, but we have to cover those contributing to society, and vast majority of undocumented workers do.

I just read a previous opinion of his on immigration..."Too many poor people would come to the United States" because the costs would be too great. Now this. So which is it?
