Poll: 40% of Americans Would Prefer Student Debt Forgiveness to Free Health Care
2:05
A new poll reveals that 40 percent of Americans would prefer student debt forgiveness to universal health care. Student loan debt in America topped $1.7 trillion last week.
According to a report by the College Fix, a new survey revealed that 40 percent of Americans prefer total student debt forgiveness to universal health care.
The survey, which was conducted by LendEDU, revealed that nearly half of Americans would support student debt forgiveness, which would cost approximately $1.7 trillion. Meanwhile, providing universal health care would cost much more. Analysts estimate that providing free healthcare to all Americans would cost between $25 trillion and $36 trillion.
While the complete cancellation of this nation’s $1.61 trillion in outstanding student loan debt would presumably cost somewhere around that figure, the estimated price of free universal health care would likely fall somewhere between $25 trillion and $36 trillion over 10 years according to various plans from think-tanks and economists.Perhaps, like most things, the answer lies in the pockets of Americans. While recent student loan borrowers owe $28,565 in student loan debt, the costs of health care over a lifetime will usually far exceed that.
Breitbart News reported last week on a viral video in which a father confronted presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren over her proposal to erase student loan debt. “So you’re going to pay for people who didn’t save any money and those of us who did the right thing get screwed?” the father asked Warren.
Breitbart News reported in October that employees at Sallie Mae, a consumer bank that provides loans for college, were gifted vacations to Hawaii. The Sallie Mae trip to Hawaii took place as total student loan debt in American topped $1.6 trillion.
It Pays to be Illegal in California
Providing free, American taxpayer-funded
healthcare to all illegal aliens is just the latest effort to use mass
immigration to turn the United States into the sanctuary state of California,
Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL) says.
It Pays to be Illegal in California
It certainly is a good time to be an illegal alien
in California. Democratic State Sen. Ricardo Lara last week pitched a bill to
permit illegal immigrants to serve on all state and local boards and
commissions. This week, lawmakers unveiled a $1
billion health care plan that would include spending
$250 million to extend health care coverage to all illegal alien adults.
“Currently, undocumented adults are explicitly and
unjustly locked out of healthcare due to their immigration status. In a matter
of weeks, California legislators will have a decisive opportunity to reverse
that cruel and counterproductive fact,” Assemblyman Joaquin Arambula said in
Monday’s Sacramento
Bee.
His legislation, Assembly
Bill 2965, would give as many as 114,000 uninsured illegal
aliens access to Medi-Cal programs. A companion bill has been sponsored by
State Sen. Richard Lara.
But that could just be a drop in the bucket. The
Democrats’ plan covers more than 100,000 illegal aliens with annual incomes
bless than $25,000, however an estimated 1.3 million might be eligible based on
their earnings.
In addition, it is estimated that 20 percent of
those living in California illegally are uninsured – the $250 million covers
just 11 percent.
So, will politicians soon be asking California
taxpayers once again to dip into their pockets to pay for the remaining 9
percent?
Before they ask for more, Democrats have to win the
approval of Gov. Jerry Brown, who cautioned against spending away the state’s
surplus when he introduced his $190 billion budget proposal in January.
Given Brown’s openness to expanding Medi-Cal
expansions in recent years, not to mention his proclivity for blindly
supporting any measure benefitting lawbreaking immigrants, the latest fiscal
irresponsibility may win approval.
And if he takes a pass, the two
Democrats most likely to succeed Brown – Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom and former Los
Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa – favor excessive
social spending and are actively courting
illegal immigrant support.
COST to AMERICANS of the LA RAZA MEXICAN
OCCUPATION in CALIFORNIA ALONE: $2,370 per legal.
All that “cheap” labor is staggeringly
expensive!
"Most
Californians, who have seen their taxes increase while public services
deteriorate, already know the impact that mass illegal immigration is having on
their communities, but even they may be shocked when they learn just how much
of a drain illegal immigration has become." FAIR President Dan Stein.
Californians bear an enormous fiscal burden as a result of an illegal
alien population estimated at almost 3 million residents. The annual
expenditure of state and local tax dollars on services for that population is
$25.3 billion. That total amounts to a yearly burden of about $2,370 for a
household headed by a U.S. citizen.

Providing free, American taxpayer-funded
healthcare to all illegal aliens is just the latest effort to use mass
immigration to turn the United States into the sanctuary state of California,
Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL) says.
As Breitbart News reported, the majority of
2020 Democrat presidential candidates have endorsed a plan to force taxpayers
to pay for free healthcare for all 11 to 22 million illegal aliens living
across the country. The plan would cost taxpayers at least $660 billion a
decade.
Brooks told SiriusXM Patriot’s Breitbart News Tonight that
Democrats’ “primary motivation” behind offering healthcare to illegal aliens is
not compassion, but rather an effort to transform the U.S. into the state of
California through mass illegal and legal immigration.
LISTEN:
Brooks said:
The motivation for all for this is
even worse. They don’t have compassion for these illegal aliens. That’s not
their primary motivation. Their primary motivation is the desire to acquire
raw political power. That’s what it’s all about. [Emphasis added]
If you limit votes to American
citizens, Democrats do not fair to well with us. So what they’re trying to do
is import people who do not understand the foundational principles that have
combined to make America a great nation and who … are
much more likely to vote Democrat once Democrats give them voting rights.
[Emphasis added]
Brooks detailed how California, the
state where former President Ronald Reagan was governor, has been forever
changed due to the country’s mass illegal and legal immigration policy that
imports about 1.5 million foreign nationals a year.
“Let’s learn from history.
California used to be a purple state. Remember, Ronald Reagan came from there …
the Democrats have flooded California with noncitizens,” Brooks said. “And why
do noncitizens vote Democrat so often? Well, let’s look at illegal aliens. The
data shows that 70 percent of households that have an illegal alien in them are
on welfare. The data shows that 60 percent of households that have a lawful
immigrant in them are on welfare. So, you’ve got three different themes that
the Democrat Party now relies on: One is racism, two is sexism, and three is
socialism.”
“In California, what used to be a
purple state, now out of 53 congressional seats, only seven are Republican … 46
are Democrat and seven are Republican,” Brooks said. “So they have seen how
that strategy of importation of foreign voters has worked in California.
They’re trying to do it in Texas, Nevada, New Mexico, Arizona, in every state
where they can possibly do it. They want to flood the voting booths with people
who are dependent on welfare and who do not understand the principles that have
made us a great nation. That’s how they change the voter pool and they’re doing
it successfully.”
Health insurance expert Linda
Blumberg told the New York Times that any of
the Democrats’ plans that offer free health care to illegal aliens is could
likely to drive a mass migration of foreigners with “serious health problems to
enter the country or remain longer than their visas allow in order to get
government-funded care.”
Likely U.S. voters, by a majority,
said they oppose being forced to pay for the healthcare of millions of illegal
aliens living in the country, as Breitbart News reported. The latest
Rasmussen Reports poll found that 55 percent of voters said they opposed such a
plan, including 8-in-10 Republican voters, about 6-in-10 swing voters, and 62
percent of middle-class voters.
In the next two decades, should the
country’s legal immigration policy go unchanged, the U.S. is set to import about 15 million new foreign-born voters. About eight
million of these new foreign-born voters will have arrived through the process
known as “chain migration,” whereby newly naturalized citizens are allowed to bring
an unlimited number of foreign relatives to the country.
