Failed asylum seekers in Wales will now be given free health care - unlike their counterparts in England.
The Department of Health in England is taking legal action to restrict free access to the NHS to this group.
Health Minister Edwina Hart said her decision was the right one and that the mark of a civilised society was how it treated the sick and dying.
But the Conservatives said while the NHS should be open to emergency cases, they opposed "health tourism".
The Tax Payers' Alliance said the system was open to abuse but the Welsh Refugee Council (WRC) welcomed the move.
Previously, the Welsh assembly had passed regulations to introduce charging for secondary healthcare for refused asylum seekers.
The regulations, which meant charges for all forms of secondary care, except treatment provided in accident and emergency (A&E) departments, were passed in April 2004.
**Well first off the socialist boys and gals who passed that and the WRC are a bunch of cunts. There is no fucking thing as free health care, free for Abdul Terrorist sure, free for his hoard of wives, concubines and several dozen children sure but not bloody free.Not free for me and every sodding taxpayer in the land.
Ms Hart told BBC Radio Wales it was up to the UK government how it monitored asylum seekers, but offering failed asylum seekers free NHS treatment and putting it on a legitimate footing was the "right thing to do".
She used the comparison of the parable of the Good Samaritan.
"No-one would want to see a pregnant woman turned away from hospital if they were having difficulty with the pregnancy and people are fundamentally decent and they will understand this argument," said the minister.
**Well no, how about this one is we want to quote scripture and pop phrases to justify arguments: Charity begins at home.Had they a legal reason to stay they would be allowed in, as they have not they should fuck off forthwith to whatever dusty fuckhole spawned them and take the rest of the hoard with them.
Well roll on the time when we get to vote out useless fuckers like Ms Hart who believe that being happy clappy is the way forward and we can afford to provide aid to all illegals/terrorists and waifs cast up on our shores in the desire for council homes and benefits.
Finally, looking at the picture of her on the BBC site I can understand why she is a Ms.
Fugly is the word that leaps to mind.
Either that or she likes the Isle of Lesbos if you take the not to sutle hint...
Another good bit on this latest Moonbattery from New Labour scum: isupporttheresistance
