2022 tape. Racist-attack line. $3.5 trillion. Rogers race. Keep that order.
Abdul El-Sayed blames slavery for US healthcare woes: opposing taxpayer funded care for illegal immigrants is akin to racism

He called a no on taxpayer care for illegal immigrants a deliberate racist attack. Then he priced Medicare for All at $3.5 trillion a year.
Summary
- The New York Post reports Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, in a resurfaced 2022 interview, said slavery profoundly shaped U.S. health care and that public opposition to taxpayer-funded treatment for illegal immigrants would be a deliberate, racist attack.
- He said racism still blocks investment in collective public goods and that structural racism is a main reason the country has not passed Medicare for All. He argued reimbursement differs by income, and income differs by skin color.
- The Post notes he has called for shutting ICE down as an agency and supports taxpayers paying for illegal immigrants' health care. He is in a tight race against former GOP Rep. Mike Rogers.
- He has refused to disavow streamer Hasan Piker, who once said America deserved 9/11, a remark Piker later walked back. On Meet the Press last month El-Sayed defended a potentially $3.5 trillion annual price tag for Medicare for All and said middle-class Americans should foot the bill.
Commentary
A mill dad still counts a premium on a kitchen table and knows a clinic bill is supposed to follow a citizen card. He did not work a double so a Senate hopeful could call that limit a racial attack.
2022 tape. Racist attack. $3.5 trillion a year. Middle class pays. The honest household already bought its own plan. The vinyl chair in that waiting room still waits.
Look every working father who still pays the premium before groceries in the eye and answer this: if a no on foreign free care already counts as racism, who still owns the next Michigan clinic slot a citizen was supposed to hold?

I stood a watch so a clinic still meant a citizen card. A slogan is not a diagnosis.

Medicare for All. Middle-class bill. ICE shutdown call. Piker 9/11 line. Print the four.

Allied systems still treat a taxpayer clinic as a citizen benefit, not a global entitlement.

Deleted Fourth of July and gun tapes. DSA distance. CAIR questions elsewhere. File the pattern.

I still pay the premium after a double. I want the next slot to go to the household that paid.

A racism stamp on a citizenship screen is not medicine. It is a warning the street already paid.

A $3.5 trillion annual ask is a second border around every kitchen table.

The Post printed the 2022 tape and the $3.5 trillion defense. Argue those nouns.

Citizens first. Keep the agency. A clinic card is not a campaign prop.
