Military providing free healthcare But does that job include protecting foreigners at the expense of American

Question

BROWNSVILLE, Texas—The Air National Guard at Ellington Field stands ready to protect our borders both on land and at sea.

Part of that duty includes providing free medical care to everyone.

That is evident at a school in Brownsville where soldiers along with our state’s health and human services department help those in need.

“We’re protecting our people and that’s our job,” said Master Sgt. Marcus Falleaf who is with the Air National Guard.

But does that job include protecting foreigners at the expense of American taxpayers?

That’s what some want to know.

Some claim that more than 5,000 people have received medical care at the Brownsville facility in three days.

The military doesn’t know how many people are getting served because they don’t require documentation and don't ask questions.

One woman who spoke to 11 News said she lives in Matamoros, Tamaulipas, Mexico. It's a city across the border form Brownsville.

She said that she received a health screening, including blood work and a physical exam. It was all free.

In fact, anyone who comes to the facility can get vision checks, dental and hearing work, even free medications. why we’re giving foreigners free medical care when an estimated 40 million Americans struggle along without health insurance.”

Answer 3

In the meantime our government is trying to triple the cost of Tricare for our military retirees.  20 years of military service gives you less entitlement to free medical care than an illegal alien.  Military retirees are currently paying almost $600.00 annually for their military health care.  Our government wants to raise it to just under $2,000.00 annually.

Answer 4

I feel they made their point in why quite well. TB doesn't stop when it comes to a border. Neither does any communicable disease. Americans are traveling back and forth for vacations, shopping, etc. it's smart to do preventative measures especially in border areas. I don't see what the problem is with it.

“The critics say we’re spending millions of dollars on Operation Lone Star in the course of the last several years. We do spend an awful lot of money, but keep in mind the money we’re spending is not only helping people but it’s preparing us from things that may happen in the future,” said Master Sergeant Falleaf.

He says sickness knows no borders.

Answer 6

They can not ask for proof of citizenship? How dumb can you get?  Why only border towns? Aren't there any sick people in the rest of the country?
