If I travel to the USA and I am banned from being allowed to use the health system, I would expect the same to happen in return when Americans visit my country... And when they visit any other country on the planet. - And there are thousands stationed here on rotation in the top-end all year round using our health system. (And no one whinges about it!)
That aside... I think any nation has a duty of care to anyone who visits/lives in the country regarding health care, regardless if they visited legally or not.
At the end of the day, life is short, we should help others when we are in a position to do so, but then again... I am a massive advocate for protecting life, more people should do the same.
It is similar to the world-wide maritime agreement... Basically as an Australian if I needed rescuing in American or even Chinese waters I wouldn't be charged for the privilege, but in return an American/Chinese that needs rescuing in Australian waters wouldn't be charged for the privilege either... You scratch my back, I scratch yours. - Ignoring the fact that Australia is responsible for all rescues in 1/8th of the worlds oceans anyway (And I am one of the first responders!) so the costs are very much against us, it's just common courtesy.
If you want to stop immigrants from leeching off your healthcare system, the solution is actually very simple. - Get some better border control, the Trump wall was an interesting premise, but anyone worth a pinch of salt new it wasn't going to be feasible to build, let-alone actually have Mexico pay for it... Not to mention how it was downgraded to a fence in areas and completely abandoned in other areas due to geography.
But a nation that can put a man on the moon, surely can protect their borders can't they?
