Yep! Give up your universal health-insurance for this one time payment. Such a good deal!
/s
Sounds like the US will prepay for one medical emergency.
They will promise to prepay for one. In Trump's world there's a big difference.
And you have to choose between that one-off medical treatment and education for your kids.
All for the low, low price of living the rest of your days under the boot of a violent kleptocratic Nazi dictatorship.
Look how well 1 country 2 systems worked out for Hong Kong. Never trust authoritarians.
One million* dollars each!
(*Or equivalent value in the form of an American green card)
The promise of a payment by Trump is not the same as a payment.
I bet it will be an insultingly low amount.
$10,000
Enough for a single, uninsured ride to the hospital. What a deal! /s
What a thing for which they'd give up their national health-insurance.
I wonder how easy it would be to take the money and not leave lol
I really can never tell if this was an actual plan with value or a case of "emperor's new clothes" where it was just a random thing suggested or said once that Trump remembers and regurgitates every so often again.
I don't even know if that's a distinction with a difference or not anymore.
