Northeastern Professors: Health care for Illegal Aliens is a ‘Moral Obligation’

Too often, the Left confuses privilege and blessings with entitlements and handouts. This appears to be the case with two Northeastern University professors on illegal aliens receiving health care:

In an interview with Northeastern’s student newspaper, philosophy professor Patricia Illingworth and law professor Wendy Parmet elaborate on their controversial position, which they first presented in a recent book called The Health of Newcomers: Immigration, Health Policy, and the Case for Global Solidarity.

While the two recognize that the United States Constitution does not “establish any broad right of non-citizens to government supported healthcare,” they nevertheless assert that “non-citizens within the country do have constitutional rights, and there are circumstances in which the government is obligated to provide non-citizens with access to healthcare,” citing prison as an example.
