Just wanted to point out that you've already demonstrated one way in which this problem is being resolved by the market. Unreasonable laws, such as EMTALA, require all "emergency rooms" attached to "hospitals" to take all comers. Ok, then; the "emergency rooms" and "hospitals" are being closed (24 hospitals closed in California in 2004) and are being replaced by "surgi-centers" and the like. Health care is still being provided, but doctors are so desperate to change the name of the location that they practice, so they no longer fall under EMTALA, that they are willing to give up all the advantages of being in a "real" hospital. One way or another, illegal's aren't' going to get care. Either they will be sent to their home countries from the US hospitals, or the US hospitals will simply be closed. The only question is how much of the medical system will be destroyed in the process of creating a new system that isn't under the auspices of EMTLA.
I think the George Bush is taking us on a straight path to socialized medicine. This cannot continue, as soon it won't be just 6 states needing the extra money.
Has it occurred to you that soon everyone who speaks Spanish will be able to get free health care. Many legals speak Spanish so it won't be hard for them to fake anything especially if they don't have insurance.
Slippery slope to socialized medicine. Just mark my words.
