I'd even, gasp, go so far as to say I'd happily give it away to citizens and illegal immigrants alike. Oh hell, everyone on the planet. No strings attached.

This is where my taxes should go. I can't stand the rhetoric that it's bad tax payers are footing the bill for those without insurance and those here illegally. That's what a society is supposed to do.

    In fact, before this admin, we gave many medicines all over the world to developing nations.

    Which was also an payout to big pharma. And we illegally used those programs to sneak in spies. While we’re blocking Cuba from distributing cancer vaccines and covid vaccines.

    Let’s not pretend we were good before this.

    There have been plenty of people involved in those programs talking about them online since they were repealed and that they aren't motivated at the politcal level by altruism and that they have done an incredible amount of good in the world are both true statements.

    Are you going to be grateful someone came to your home to give you medicine, if they use it to sneak in someone who will burn down your home?

    What a terminally online hypothetical. IRL, people are insanely grateful to get free medicine and crushed that it's gone.
