La Raza President Wants Health Care Reform for ‘Everyone,’ Including Illegal Aliens Friday, October 02, 2009 By Matt Cover
(CNSNews.com) – National Council of La Raza President Janet Murguia said that health care reform should include “everyone,” and this means illegal immigrants as well because with more people paying into the system it might lower the costs of health care.
Speaking to reporters Thursday at a press conference in support of President Barack Obama’s efforts to pass a government-led overhaul of the nation’s health care system, Murguia said that while the issue of illegal immigrants was politically difficult, there were “strong” arguments for covering the illegals.
“From our perspective there’s a strong case to be made in this country for us to reform health care [and] it ought to include everyone,” said Murguia. “There’s a lot of different reasons why we should try to reform this system once and for all so that everyone is covered. The more people who are covered, the more cost-effective and the more and better health outcomes we’re going to have.”
“We know that politically it’s very difficult right now to take on the issue of undocumenteds [but] there’s no reason why we shouldn’t be trying to cover as many people as possible, certainly when it comes to undocumented children,” she said. “Our goal should be to have health care reform for everyone.”

What a coincidence....so does Buttcrack Obutthole!! Wow!
oh, I’m so surprised to hear that.
NOT!
Perhaps they should invade a country that has nationalized health care rather than continue to be parasites in a America.
Screw La Raza they are nothing more than a government financed street gang, with ties to ACORN.
Well Janet, people in Hell want ice water.
well, tell him to pay for it!
The only Reform I want to see regarding Illegals Health care is to do the same thing Mexico does to Americans after they are treated in a Mexican Hospital.
That is...demand payment for treatment before they are released...in cash!
sw
watever
Sarcasm, get it? Sarcasm.
IE,
“Gringo gonna pay for our healthcare, or else!”
ILLEGALS are, “... parasites in a America.
Screw La Raza...”
of course, but now, that has become my answer to the charge..watever
Aaaaaah. Got it. Think I'll use it myself.
And we want English for 'Everyone' including illegal Aliens.
But we're not willing to trade one for the other. We insist on the English.
:)
Not because he cares about people, but a way to water down US culture and weaken US economy.
GTH Pedro.
GTH Pedro.
The folks in Africa and Eastern Europe were also polled - they would like Americans to pay for their health care too...
...”you can’t always get whatcha wannnnnt”..........
How about this for healthcare reform for illegals:
Take your ass home and get it there!
Health care for illegal aliens...lets see; world population in 2009 per Wiki (whatever thats worth) 6,790,062,216...U.S. population per Wiki 305,682,092. I come up with a government contingent liabilty for the provision of health care services for about 6.5 billion people; in addition to our own current population. That should be enough to destroy the Republic.
If the Left is so concerned about racism, why don’t they denounce this organization whose very name displays its racism.

Dialysis for immigrants drives hospital into debt

LAS VEGAS — A Las Vegas hospital providing emergency dialysis services to 80 illegal immigrants says that accounts for much of its operating deficit. The University Medical Center says the treatment will cost it about $24 million this fiscal year, aggravating a budget deficit that is expected to approach $70 million. UMC’s chief operating officer, Brian Brannman, said the hospital is required by federal law to treat anyone who shows up in an emergency but receives no reimbursement from federal, state or local governments for doing it. “Our people are really torn,” Brannman told the Las Vegas Review-Journal. “We want to take care of people who are ill. We’re proud that we can save lives. But our employees are also worried about the survival of UMC. They know that the appetite of taxpayers for helping undocumented immigrants is limited.” The cost of providing dialysis to illegal immigrants doubled last year, with twice as many seeking the treatment two or three times a week, officials said. One patient said she had nowhere else to turn. “I am so thankful to this hospital for doing this for someone who is not a citizen,” Marta Berrera told the newspaper through an interpreter. “Without this help, I would die and my four children would be without a mother.” UMC professionals say taxpayer-supported hospitals are strained to the breaking point and need to be part of the discussion on how to reform the nation’s health care system. If this problem isn’t solved, they say, others can expect to wait longer or pay more for their own emergency services.
Good all those Liberal Foundations can buy them Health Insurance.
Vaya con el Diablo!
But they won’t BE paying. They want it FREE. Read the signs at the SEIU rallies behind the Mexican flags.
Here is the proof that you need!
La Raza rooted in Saul Alinsky & funded by Imperialist, George Soros
What is she smoking? They are illegals, they don’t pay into the system! They SUCK off it!
La Raza can go to hell.
Who is funding this hate-Israel group, La Raza? In an investigative report on the evil speculator, self-made billionaire, and proponent of One World Government, through his anti-American foundation, Open Society Institute, (OSI) George Soros,
Soros -the master manipulator, the more he is exposed the better.
Now they'll be sitting in the doctor's office going first class.
And who will pay for all of it - for the illegals and their relatives who "visit" for medical care? We will.
We will because our our care will become more expensive and the quality will go down.
Care will be based on "who you know" to get you bumped up on this "list". And that list will be controlled by dem pols. We'll pay more for less - much less. And the liberal rich? They'll fly out for care or go "private" - no skin off their elite liberal noses..
But as usual the illegals will use/abuse the healthcare system more than the average American, but without paying their share of the taxes or premiums to support obamacare.
La Raza needs to get a clue. Illegals currently drive in the U.S., but very few of them actually pay for car insurance as required by law. Whenever an illegal is involved in a accident with a legal citizen, the citizen’s insurance has to pay the for the repairs to the citizen’s property as a “no insurance/hit-and-run” claim, which jacks up the cost of the the citizen’s insurance premiums. Then later, the illegal will probably sue the citizen for some false injury related to the accident, again, increasing the costs to the citizen.
If illegals are not willing to follow the law by becoming legal, productive citizens then why would they follow the law with obamacare?
I hope you're right - because IF illegals get free care, all their relatives will be coming to the United States for Hospital Vacations.
The price of an operation in the United States will be the price of a plane ticket.
