Immigration policy or health discrimination?
In this episode, we dig into a recent NPR article that explores how health conditions like obesity, diabetes, and other chronic illnesses could impact immigration and visa decisions in the U.S.
We break down the broader implications of these policies, talk honestly about what we agree with, what makes us uncomfortable, and where we think the line between public policy and discrimination starts to blur. As people who live in larger bodies, this conversation hits close to home — and raises big questions about fairness, access, and who gets to decide what makes someone “worthy” of entry.
Is this about protecting systems, or excluding people based on health?
Where does personal responsibility end and systemic bias begin?
👇 We want to hear from you:
Do you think health conditions should affect immigration decisions?
Is this reasonable policy — or a dangerous precedent?
Jump into the comments and let’s talk.
