We have 5 hospitals in our area. 1 is county and all others are private. They all accept medi-cal and treat anyone according to the federal law.
The difference is the private hospitals receive a small amt of monies back for the treatment of illegals. The $7 mil the county hospital wrote off for the treatment of illegals was totally pd for by the taxpayers.
And why do you have to make everything so personal? It is none of your business where I and my family go for treatment.
Most taxes are paid by corporations and their wealthy owners, not working families. Without employees, companies fold or relocate. That's why no cities want the employers of illegals in their towns busted.
Productive employees are an asset to a community, not a liability. I see where your Legislative Analysis Office has projected a $6 Billion budget surplus for California for 2006 based upon the economic boom you are experiencing. Where would you be without 15% of your workforce?
