How many are illegals?
It would be all of them.ILLEGALS NOT eligable for any government benifits which would pay for this care. (Like SSDI.....which requires having a SSN and paying taxes for...which illegals do not)
To tranfer them out to a nursing home,so to speak.
the story says...because they are illegal immigrants or lack sufficient insurance or appropriate housing.
I saw a show about emergency room patients in LA who had no place to go after they received care. Not necessarily illegals. The hospitals had vans that took them out and dumped them on the sidewalk in the horrible neighborhoods they were presumed to have come from to continue their bum/baglady lives until their next expensive trip to the emergency room. Much of this problem stems from alcohol use. And drugs. Some conceivably from undiagnosed strokes or brain injuries.
Whatever causes the problem, the problem remains. I don't have a clue how to solve it. Do you?
