Illegal immigrants, as well as legal immigrants in the country less than five years, are not eligible for free healthcare through Medicaid. A 2007 study estimated that less than 1 percent of Medicaid spending went to healthcare for illegal immigrants. Proponents of subsidized healthcare for immigrants argue that increased access to basic preventive care will lower the demand for costly emergency care. Opponents argue that immigrants in the healthcare system run the risk of becoming "permanent patients," because they have no relatives, insurance or an established address where they can go once released.

@8L595LH5yrs5Y
They should have access to health care if they pay taxes or for life-threatening emergencies/diseases. However, illegal immigrants should not have access to federal healthcare if they don't contribute to the country. Everyone should be able to receive medical help without the fear of being deported, but it shouldn't be government-subsidized.
@98GJJK23yrs3Y
No because they are illegal but at the same time if they pay taxes then yes then deport them after treatment and make sure they are safe in their foreign country.
