Uh, right. Call John Edwards - I believe you've found an even faster way to destroy American health care than he's come up with!
In a fevered fantasy ER, not too far in the future...
Gasp... pant... "Help me, I've got shooting pains in my left arm and jaw, and there's an elephant on my chest..."
"Papers please!"
"Ah, your papers are not in order. We will not treat you. The police have been summoned."

That's fine with me. You want to pay for the guy's bypass? You go right ahead.
Obviously, there will be one doctor and one hospital who will choose, for misguided reasons such as yours, not to comply. After the first such incident and fine the hospital adminsitrator will take steps to come into compliance.
People will not come to a land where they are assured of unemployment, homelessness, no education, and no medical care.
So what's your solution? Very very very few illegals or other immigrants coming over the Mexican border are coming with any kind of health insurance --- they may or may not be working -- but most were willing to take jobs providing no health insurance or a wage high enough to buy their own health care --- do you believe the government must continue confiscating an ever high amount of working Americans' wages to pay for all this free care? Or should those ER's just shut down for lack of paying patients? We're about an inch away from completely Socialized medicine.
