"When emergency rooms and trauma centers are closing left and right because of unpaid bills by ILLEGAL ALIENS"

Another urban rumor that has been dispelled. Hospitals don't go out of business because they have too many patients, they go out of business when they have too few. Old hospitals in declining areas go out of business because people with good health insurance (or wealthy) go to new modern better equipped hospitals to have their surgery.

Hospitals don't have to accept patients who can't pay (unless they are a charity) and don't have keep emergency rooms open.

Old hospitals close, old supermarkets close, old gas stations close, old theatres close, old restaurants close.....and it's always from too few customers, not too many.

The hospitals on the border are going BANKRUPT because the FEDS are not paying the full costs of treating the ill illegals in the ER rooms.

"Old hospitals in declining areas go out of business because people with good health insurance (or wealthy) go to new modern better equipped hospitals to have their surgery."

And why don't "old hospitals" have the funds to upgrade? Could it been that the rooms are full of uninsured patients INCLUDING illegal aliens ... you know, those that don't pay?

I doubt if you've ever been to a US hospital on the border? You'll see that your statement is an outright lie.

Bayourod you are hopeless. Hospitals go out of business WHEN THEY DON'T GET PAID!!! It takes PAYING patients to pay the bills. Illegals don't pay, they just mooch for free.
