A group of doctors and nurses in Phoenix have joined together to treat illegal aliens free of charge, even making house calls.
Registered nurse, Jason Odhner, recently told KTAR.com: The Phoenix Urban Health Collective is a diverse group of physicians, nurses, P.A.'s, midwives, EMTs, medical professionals who are committed to working on human rights and community health.
Odhner also said that in addition to making home visits, they assist illegal aliens through the healthcare system if they need surgery or nursing home care.
The group also fights against tougher immigration enforcement and most recently against an Arizona bill which would have required hospitals to report illegal aliens to federal authorities.
While Senate Bill 1405 failed to pass, the collective has stated they would not follow the law if it ever did.
Odhner said: I will not violate my professional ethics. I will not violate the American Medical Association's code of ethics. I will not violate my conscience to participate in a bill that I know to be in conflict with the oaths that I have taken.
At a time when 1 in 5 Americans is out of work and most of those folks have lost their medical insurance, the actions of the Phoenix Urban Health Collective are not sitting well with many people.

-We just need to find out list of names for this group and make sure that all taxpaying legal Americans do not spend our money there. How about giving free medical care and help to our returning veterans or Americans out of work. These doctors obviously don't know the phrase "Don't bite the hand that feeds you". If anyone gets a list of these doctors names, please post it. (5thgenaznative)
- I wonder if this group of doctors and nurses realize there are US citizens and legal residents who are crying out for medical help!! Many can't afford to see a doctor and make a little too much for state care, so they go without. This group is reaching out to illegal invaders before our own. Isn't there something wrong with this picture?? (Cookie)
-Nothing like encouraging more to come here illegally. Way to go Doc. NOT. (AZDrummer)
PING
someone is paying for it
Their paying customers. Looks like from the comments people want to know who these doctors are so they can stop spending their $ with them.
The human rights canard is getting really old. Leftists destroy everything, including language itself.

I’m cool with that...
BUT, I won’t follow Obamacare either. Then we’re both cool, right?
yes, American citizens paying for illegal aliens from anyone coming over the border
they’re getting ‘BammyCash from somewhere for their work
And I’ll bet I could raise enough money for one-way bus fare to Mexico where they can practice their trade all they like...on whomever they like.
