The form also includes a notice that states "patients should be aware that the Department of Homeland Security will not access or use information related to medical care to initiate enforcement of United States immigration laws unrelated to an ongoing terrorism or criminal investigation."

Tell me we're serious about illegal immigration after this.

Anyone have an email address for Tanya Broder?

Tell me we're serious about homeland security after this.

Neither should the Minutemen, but they do what they do because the crapweasels in Washington refuse to enforce our immigration laws.

Patients can qualify for the program if they do not have legal documents such as a green card or a valid nonimmigrant visa and if they can prove they were born outside the United States.

I think I'll just get rid of my expensive medical insurance with the high deductibles I took so I could just barely afford it. The premiums are killing me anyhow and the coverage ain't that great and they hassle me all the time with premium increases and they keep cutting my coverage. I can use the money to fix my old car and maybe take a vacation to the beach.

When I go to the hospital I'll just tell them (in my best broken English) I have no identification. Then I'll show them my bogus Mexican Identity card - which I can buy on nearly any street corner for around $200.

I can save a bundle on my premiums and get quality health care at the same time, and it's free!

Oh, wait a minute that's illegal and I'll be arrested? Well, isn't sneaking into this country also illegal? Oh, it is, but nobody cares about that!!??

One more measure to lower US costs.
Once the hospital treats the life-threatening problem, the illegal alien is immediately driven to the nearest medical facility in Mexico or flown back to whatever country he/she came from. Of course, that would include illegal pregnant women...
