    Okay. Don’t conflate this with me supporting ICE or the fascio-authoritarian state…BUT, lots of wealthy Americans are traveling to Mexico for healthcare because it’s cheaper, faster, and in some cases just flat out better. I hope this is the case for the kid. If it is, she may have hit the lottery when she needed it most. They get a free ticket out of the US, potentially better healthcare, and maybe a shit load of money for the government ignoring her rights.

      Wealthy Americans pay out of pocket for top notch care in foreign countries. The ordinary person / family would not be able to afford that.

      The wealthiest Americans fuck around with alternative medicine after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and then pay bribes to jump the transplant list domestically.
