We do likewise in California. We’ve found that treating people for things like TB and the measles contributes to healthier communities overall. Investments in public health rarely, if ever, go awry.
Just noting that in some states, like Oregon, undocumented folks are eligible for Medicaid. It's state funded. Nationally, undocumented individuals can still get emergency room coverage through Medicaid. These policies actually help reduce medical system costs because providers still get paid.
