I have no problem with the U.S. government sending an aggregated quarterly bill to President Fox for all uncompensated care to his citizens. In fact, I have no problem doing that for all non-citizens.
To: lewislynn
Too bad we don't do the same to illegal Mexicans at hospitals here...
Make them pay the bill before leaving.
I guess that's a bad idea... They would probably just move in to the hospital...

Why do we bend over backwards for this third world American hating country, which has a history of modern day banditos, illegal imprisonment and punishing Americans who happen to have a wreck or crash a light aircraft in Mexico. [I deleted the 15 expletives from this post.]

Of course if a Mexican illegal alien injures an American citizen they can use their "blue" card to get back across the border and escape paying for the injuries on our citizenry. After all, we're all wealthy "yanquis" and can afford $200,000 medical bills, right?

These people were very lucky! Typically messican horspitals want the cash upfront before any services are rendered..

It's certainly better than the People's Republic of China, where they don't even let you IN the hospital unless you've got the cash upfront. So much for the Socialist Worker's paradise.

"DON'T GO TO THAT CORRUPT PESTHOLE."I wouldn't spend ten cents in that corrupt cesspool. Mexico sucks in more ways than one.
To: lewislynn
Again, another fine example of why our system in the US is more right than wrong. The unfortunate end of this story is as follows: Due to the incompetence of the Mexican medical community, more of your insurance dollars will need to be spent to correct this mess. Print this article out and give it to your acquaintances who are pro government run healthcare.

How did the hospital physically keep them there? At gunpoint? I didn't get that part of the story.

What with broken arms and comas and all, (and all the undiagnosed injuries the suck-ass doctors missed) I doubt they would be up for much of a fight.

Those SOB's couldn't even diagnose the injuries properly. They saw an opportunity to make a little dough at a grieving family's expense, which makes me sick.

I wonder how much of that $15,000 is now in Vicente Fox's Swiss bank accounts.

I don't know but I do know some people have a funny idea about doctors and hospitals having some kind of authority over themWelcome to Amerika. You want to get from hospital A to hospital B without paying an ambulance charge? Best of luck. You check out without a physician's blessing, your insurance won't cover the stay at hospital A. Rules are rules.
