Also, Ronald Reagan was a proponent of affirmative action. Put the first woman on the supreme court even though there were plenty of men with better qualifications.
Reagan is now too Liberal for the GOP
goddammit I hate saying nice things about reagan.
Reagan was as bad as Trump, just a bit smarter.
I dunno. I think he had empathy. I think he was a regular person with bad ideas.
No.
Reagan ran as a “Union President” in 1980, then turned around and destroyed the one Union that backed him in the election.
He was a head of the Screen Actors Guild, and shafted his members by signing a contract that let talent agencies act as TV/movie producers. In other words, your boss was the guy negotiating your contract. He also spied on his members for Hoover’s FBI.
He did nothing about AIDS until one of his Hollywood buddies got sick.
He was a terrible person.
Oh. Listen. Do not get me started on Reagan. I fuckin’ hate the guy in many, many ways.
But insofar as he was not a sociopath and a rapist (that we know of), and he married the blowjob queen of Hollywood, hoo-fuckin-ray. Yay.
Bush Jr. made Ronnie look good, and now Trump is making us nostalgic for the fun days of Abu Gharib.
Can’t wait to see how they manage to make Donnie look reasonable.
They’re gonna elect the leader of the groypers, and this admin is gonna seem so tame.
Absolutely fucking not. He was a monster
And yet, he paved the way.
The people behind him look like they escaped from a mausoleum.
Nothing changes.
Thats ya boi Strom Thurmond. South Carolina’s previous finest before Lindsey Graham. If you don’t know him, look him up ! Such a great guy.
(for the autists: /s)
The worst of them just never seem to die in order to leave office. I actually thought that racist prick Strom was going to live to be 200.
Trump didn’t do this. All the Republican lawmakers did. They don’t get to be excused just because they’re following Hitler-daddy’s orders.
Doesn’t matter. Whatever der fuhrer says is reality now…
In 1986, he also signed the Immigration Reform and Control Act which gave amnesty to 3,000,000 undocumented immigrants. The older Bengali guys I worked with loved Reagan.
The Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA)
is an act of the United States Congress, passed in 1986 as part of the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA). It requires hospital emergency departments that accept payments from Medicare to provide an appropriate medical screening examination (MSE) for anyone seeking treatment for a medical condition regardless of citizenship, legal status, or ability to pay. Participating hospitals may not transfer or discharge patients needing emergency treatment except with the informed consent or stabilization of the patient or when the patient’s condition requires transfer to a hospital better equipped to administer the treatment.[1]
Pretty sure this only applies to Emergency Room treatments, in other words the ER can’t turn someone away because they are undocumented. Undocumented people still don’t have access to medicare to cover regular doctor visits or preventative health care
Correct. You must be treated. The ER can push you off to another hospital if they want once you’re stable… happens frequent… “kickin’ the can down the road” as they say.
