To where? If you migrate to Canada you have to pass medical exam and all
Wat
It makes sense if you remember that the universal healthcare system is insurance.
So if you are trying to migrate without a job but with an expensive disabillity and little money, then you are just a liabillity to the healthcare system.
And since the country is under no obligation to pay for the care, there is no reason for them to do so.
It is just basic resource management, you may not like it, but it is reality, regardless of what political system the country uses.
No. Just no. People aren’t numbers on a spreadsheet. That’s some capitalism mind rot.
In this case we are numbers on a spreadsheet, we may not like it, but all nations have limited resorces, and need to practice resource management.
This goes for both capitalism and communism.
Anything else would be to deny reality.
However different governments use different metrics to approve or deny new citizens, but all boil down to if it is worth it to the country.
There, fixed it for you.
Which everyone knows are the two only economic systems possible 🙄
Fixed it for you again. You’re really guzzling that “my masters know best” kool-aid.
The fundamental purpose of governments is to maximize the well-being of the citizens and other inhabitants. When the government’s aims are in conflict with the well-being of the people, the government has failed.
Automatically rejecting people as worthwhile based on putting them in one column or the other on a spreadsheet is a particularly grievous failure.
Well you sure do live up to your nickname, being all hippie, but why are you fighting me?
I just explained the reasons why a country would need a medical checkup of anyone moving there.
I am just an IT guy, I don’t set policy.
Because you’re not just reporting on the awful status quo. You’re mis-characterizing it as natural and inevitable rather than a serious of choices, often wrong, that we keep letting people with questionable motives make on everyone’s behalf to the benefit of those who already have too much while others suffer from not having enough.
Put another way, you’re framing blind obedience to rules that haven’t served the vast majority of people well as not just a good idea but the ONLY possibility.
You may not set policy, but whether you’re aware of it or not, you’re defending policy that needs attacking.
Sigh, the classic extremists trap, in order to be a good guy, you need to keep geeting more and more extreme.
You are basically saying that unless I am actively working toward the same goal you are, then I am a terrible person.
You mention that “when the government’s aims are in conflict with the well-being of the people, the government has failed”, that is litterarly my point!
The government has a duty of spending taxes to provide services for it’s people (citizens and people with approved residency and work permits), a migrant requesting residency and work permits is not yet part of the governments people.
You say that capitalism and communism isn’t the only economic systems, sure but no economic system in the world would be able to generate infinite resources.
So which non-capitalist country/countries allow disabled and economically inactive people to migrate there for free healthcare?
The taxes people (in Australia) pay to finance public healthcare are numbers on a spreadsheet and we don’t have unlimited money.
