Just what area of the country do you live in if you can only talk about one case?

I live on the border and open hearts are a very common occurrence for illegals.Yes, they get all of the CT scans, MRIs,PTCAs plus open heart free. We have even had to talk some of them out of open hearts as this is also a way to collect SSI and believe it or not some people volunteer for surgery just to get on the dole.

Here in Texas we have a law that says an ambulance must stop at the first hospital unless that hospital is full and on "drive-by". Many of these people drive by Mexican hospitals to come for free health care in the US. So where does our duty begin?

One of our most costly diseases to come from Mexico is necrotizing fascitis. These patients require daily surgery of debridement and are usually on life support also or they have to be intubated daily. Daily trips to the OR are not cheap.

Most people seem to forget that Mexico has hospitals and doctors.

Oh no, my friend, I'm not just talking about one case, I'm just giving one example of many cases.
