It is as simole as that. This cuts out the resentment, dodgey dealings and will force some contributions.
I dont accpet my taxes to be squandered in this way, it should be a manifesto pledge by the next incoming president. That would secure my and many others votes. Simples really.
Well if there is a political will to stop this free-loading and let's see it as Health Tourism (which is the heart of the problem), the workaround will be found, one that at the same time preserves the relationship, sovereignty if you will, between the Republic and all its citizens.
... but don't think there is such a political will... unless you CYs in the Free Areas kick up more of a fuss.
