“And they are ALL on medicaid”
Totally false. In GA not over 10 per year are “on Medicaid”. In those few cases the hospital provided emergency care and billed GA Medicaid. GA Medicaid knows these rural hospitals are struggling and pays those few “illegals”. The same is true in most Red states and a few Blue states.
But in CA, IL, NY, MA...and apparently MN it is many & not few.
Last I checked life expectancy of Hispanics (of all categories) is about 2 years more than Whites and many more years than Blacks. (The statistics are mostly pre-2023-24 when Biden let in a million non-typical illegals.)
Medicaid is a barbell in terms of money. It is expensive to keep us elderly alive just one more year...just one more month. And many elderly are on Medicaid. At the other end of the barbell are those who made the lifestyle choice for tobacco, alcohol, drugs, STD, etc. Bad lifestyle choices are very expensive and paid for much more by Medicaid than Private Insurance.
There is a 3d factor in Medicaid: WASTE FRAUD ABUSE. Deloitte IT is the single biggest FRAUD in Medicaid...and in CHIPM SNAP, WIC, TANF, Sec8, LIHEAP, etc. Much of the non-Deloitte FRAUD is enabled by the Deloitte Data that is poorly designed, poorly developed. Deloitte is in 25 states, both R & D ... including my GA.

I thought the penalty for cattle rustling involved a rope.
Spintree, stop spinning.
I know who gets billed for what after seeing patients.
It’s a total non-citizen rip off from tax paying citizens.
5 Hispanics, likely Illegals. The penalty for cattle rustling & horse thievery used to be hanging. The law was more just back then.
Ramon Martinez Miranda, 50; Miguel Martinez Mons, 58; Orleydis Martin Reyes, 42; Yasmani Galis-Hernandez, 34; and Reidel Martinez, 41
Doing the jobs Americans aren’t doing.
Definitely past time to reopen Alcatraz or Gitmo or maybe send them down to El Salvador.
There needs to be stiffer penalties for this.
I knew it wasn’t Williamson County TN
Folks I’m a stingy bitch. I have a cow and a bull. They have a calf. I raise hay and grain and feed the family. You steal any, I find you, I kill you, bury you, and hope I have another family. A man’s horse, cow, dog, calf, wife, truck, etc. it ain’t yours, leave it the eff alone. Period
Well at least they didn’t stampede them through The Vatican.
Yup! I watch what my husband called Cowboy News…INSP and GRIT! He always told the granddaughters that he was watching Cowboy News… and some FOX news.
Need to call Marshall Dillon!
Sad but true!
You are wuite the adept liar!
‘Quite’
And they aren’t hung yet?
