It is happening all over the place. The media knows it and is not reporting ANYTHING. Illegal aliens are THE REASON healthcare costs are going through the roof. They're obtaining medical care across a broad spectrum for which they are not paying. The costs are being spread out among all of the rest of us. It will bankrupt the healthcare system. Premiums are rising at an incredible rate.
A nationwide system MUST be put in place that says you put down a deposit of some kind at least or you do NOT get medical care. The multi-thousand lifeflights of illegal aliens simply must stop. I know it seems cruel, but it is going to bankrupt the rest of us. In Mexico, you pay or you lay. It is that simple. What ambulance service the small towns have is provided by untrained Red Cross volunteers.

It's not just illegals. It's folks who decide after having a headache for 3 days that they just can't take it anymore at 2:00 am. Or baby has been throwing up for 2 days and at 1:00 am, mama decides it time to see a doc. Or it's someone who thinks they can see a doc quicker in an ER versus the doc's office. This has been going on for years and years and has contributed to the closing of ERs all over the country. Just not very cost effective. Illegals have compounded the problem, but it ain't all their fault.
