"Guess how much of the hospital's operating budget is for "indigent" care? "

Give me the name of the hospital and I'll ask them. Some of the very best (if not THE very best) hospitals in America are required to accept a certain percentage of indigents.

The Texas Attorney General had to get onto the largest and best hospital in Houston for not devoting enough resources to indigent care. And people from all over the world fly their private jets to Houston to go to that hospital.

Hospitals don't close because they have too many patients, they close because they don't have enough good paying patients. Don't blame the poor, blame the rich who go elsewhere.

Wow, that one really takes the prize. Is anybody writing this stuff down?

Blame the people who are fleeing from this madness. You know what? That's exactly what the Soviet Union did. Before they collapsed, the Soviets blamed the people who were leaving and so they built the Iron Curtain, a wall around the country to keep the productive people enslaved.

I wouldn't be surprised if that happens to "Azlatan".

That, I understand. "Indigent care" should NOT be used to treat illegals - period. And NO policy should penalize the insured/paying patient for their choices to treat illegals under that guise.
