I have informed everyone I know that has no insurance that if they need to go to the hospital er for any reason......look them straight in the eye and tell them you are in the country illegally, no ss#, live at 1234 Main St. and phone number is whatever. Dare them to ask otherwise.
If everyone in the country started doing this the hospitals would be screaming for the free care to illegals to cease as they would all be going broke.
Per a Social Worker at the MA General Hospital, it is illegal to impersonate an Illegal Alien for the purpose of procuring free healthcare and I am not joking. Howver undet Canada’s “free” healthcare, a firned of mine who suffered severe pain in the lower abdomin while skiing in Qubec chose to go back to Vermont to be treated. Upon opening him up a healthy pink Appendix was observed. Hpwever, a strong smell of stool was detected. The perforated bowel was repaired and all was well. The attending surgeon who at the time was the VP of the AMA told him that if he had stayed in Canada the surgeon would have closed him up and sent him back for rediagnosis upon finding the healthy but useless organ. To wit, he would have died from Peritonitis.
