Should undocumented migrants receive healthcare?
An undocumented person needs non-urgent care.
- Treated like everyone else
- Regulated medical aid for necessary care
- Emergencies only: the rest requires a residence permit
What's at stake: The debate pits humanity and public health, which call for treatment, against the cost and appeal of free care.
The left's argument
Treating everyone is a matter of humanity, and it protects everyone's health.
The centre's argument
Regulated medical aid, limited to the care that is truly necessary for each person's health.
The right's argument
Free care for people staying irregularly is costly and acts as a pull factor.
