They fill the ER now, everything is an emergency. As long as they can bill some government agency they don't care. I'd narrow it to giving them emergency treatment only at GOVERNMENT hospitals. You know, tax-funded county hospitals.
Hi,
I saw a thing on YouTube about a year ago where a hospital adminisrator here in Florida was up in front of a state commission discussing the illegals. I learned a few things.
1. No point in calling the feds, they do not respond. Only if the illegal has committed a crime was the term the lady used. What pissed me off was isn't "illegal entry" into this country a crime???
2. According to the lady who testified, emergency care is not the problem. She talked about the number of illegals who receive long term, costly treatment. They have something like 8 kidney dialysis machines in the hospital and five are kept active with illegals costing the taxpayers many millions of dollars. In one case they took the patient, chartered a medivac jet and flew the guy to his home country because it was cheaper than treating him. They got sued by the family for doing so. Her contention was the guy in the car wreck, kid with a broken leg, no problem. You fix them and they are on their way. It is the thousands of illegals who are flocking to the country in need of long term care that is really taxing the system financially. Of course the state listened and did nothing.
3. Go into any emergency room, particularly a county hospital, and my experience is that it is full of illegals and medicaid patients treating little Johnny for the sniffles. The kind of treatment most of us take care of at our family doctor, they just go to the emergency room. Johnny has the sniffles, a slight fever, it is off to the hospital they go. That kind of treatment could be done at a clinic for a whole lot less money.
You must understand BO plenty understands this and that kind of care ain't good enough you see. He sees white folks pay insurance premiums, or their employers provide insurance and they practice, "preventative medicine", because they can afford it. Well he wants our tax dollars to provide that for the welfare and illegal class also......more than likely at the expense of not providing care for seniors, smokers, fat people, and if he could figure out a way to do it, republicans. In addition he wants unions to have preferential treatment because they too vote democrat for the most part and that is justification enough for special favors.
You generation will bankrupt because of the democrats spending your money to stay in power. You are really going to need someone to say enough is enough, and garner public support to overcome the whiney press and do-gooders and fix the real cause of the problem. Start with term limits, it is a big step in the right direction.
