What doctos labeled this "immoral" need to have their licenses suspended.

We can send their sick carcases over the border or perhaps allow them to be used for organ transplant, but I don't see throwing money or services at them.

Isn't there a group called Doctors Without Borders? Can't they form something like that to treat the border hoppers?

If they believe illegals should get services, then let them serve them. No one is stopping them, just don't demand that we pay for it.

"From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs", just like Karl Marx said.

The doctors don't give a damn about morality. They see more money going into their pockets from the government by expanding their patient base to include illegals. They fail to see the immorality of stealing money from American citizens to pay for free medical services for illegal aliens.

Doctors realize the taxpayer picks up the tab for illegals being treated. Doctors are only looking out for their own family by milking the taxpayer. Milk the taxpayer is the same game that has been going on for decades by the medical profession, why change now? All of the free health care is only free for certain groups or individuals, the taxpayer always pays for certain groups or individuals, with higher taxes or higher insurance premiums. This will always be the case no matter what type of system is in place.

As a physician I say let these physicians do the moral thing and see these people for free or let them pay out their bill. That is what I prefer an do. Many pay. Better than citizens. These are the same types of physician sthat demand full payment up front. Shame on them. Where is their true compassion. I know they have none they are political socialists.

About 150 physicians, medical students and other health care workers labeled as "immoral" and "dangerous" proposals that would make it harder for some illegal immigrants to get publicly funded health care and called the bills an affront to their profession.

Hmm. Maybe these humanitarian physicians could ease the illegals' suffering by donating their BMWs and Aspen timeshares to the coffers of their respective state goverments.

If they want to be "liberals" and provide medical care for illegal scumaliens, then they can pay for it.

An affront to every AMERICAN is the POTUS's DECISION NOT TO STOP ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION.

GWB - THE COP OUT PRESIDENT.

"Doctors rallying Monday at the Capitol warned lawmakers that legislation aimed at denying state services to illegal immigrants"

Which letter of the word illegal do these health care wrokers and medical students don't understand?

Deport the illegal alien invaders! Deport them NOW!

I'm sure these doctors won't mind paying the cost from their pockets.

There are way too many liberals in medicine these days because the liberals run the medical schools. It has ruined the field of medicine ie(DR. Dean). I remember having to write an essay how I would add to the diversity of my medical school class (Barf).

A two tiered health care system has developed because of illegal immigration. Private insurance vs. Medi-Cal. The illegals have overwhelmed Medi-Cal insurance to where reimbursement is so low to hospitals and physicians. Many physicians have dropped Medi-cal because $11 an office visit won't cover their office overhead. Plus, you must have a language interpreter for any Spanish speaking patients. The money for the interpreter comes out of the $11. The major tragedy is the indigent U.S. citizen suffers.

Doctors rallying Monday at the Capitol warned lawmakers that legislation aimed at denying state services to illegal immigrants may further strain overcrowded emergency rooms and endanger the health of all Georgians.




Next should be the teachers unions as the anchor babies are booted too.

AN HEIR TO THE COCA-COLA FORTUNE WANTS TAXPAYER'S TO FUND HIS CHARITY PRACTICE!!!


******



Dr. Bill Warren, as an heir to the Coca-Cola fortune, Warren just could have made a financial contribution to an inner-city clinic; he didn't have to devote his life to it.



Good Samaritan Health Center is a non-profit healthcare practice that provides a comprehensive range of services for patients without health insurance or the means to afford care



http://www.netministry.com/clientfiles/63326/DrWarren.jpg


In 1995, Dr. Bill Warren left his private pediatric practice in Sandy Springs to fulfill a calling; he wanted to serve Atlanta’s neediest residents. In 1998, the Good Samaritan Health Center was formed and in 1999, it opened for service with a staff of eight, and a handful of volunteers. The Center has grown rapidly having over 17,500 patient visits in 2004.


The Center provides a comprehensive range of services for patients without the means to afford care. Atlanta’s homeless make up about 20% of patient visits, the working poor 70%, and those who are Medicaid/Medicare eligible compose 10% of our visits. Patients pay on a much reduced sliding fee scale based on income. The Center’s vision is to create a dependable, full-time, comprehensive healthcare system for Atlanta’s working poor and homeless. We offer an ongoing relationship with a network of dedicated healthcare specialists who address each need. Most importantly, The Center provides a comfortable environment for our patients, where all people are treated with dignity and respect.


The two-story brick building in the heart of an Atlanta housing project is nondescript.


Patients sometimes meander into the second floor clinic without appointments. Most of the patients come from the surrounding community.

Groups of youngsters are often brought in by churches, shelters and other social service organizations.

The center also contains a dental examination room with two chairs. During the times when dentists are on-site, patients are lined up and waiting. Dentistry is one of the most needed services, as few dental offices accept Medicaid.



Now, Warren spreads himself out among several obligations, including the Grant Park Family Health Center, Mercy Mobile's Central Health clinic, and the Good News at Noon free clinic in Gainesville.

SOLUTION: Allow these "Doctors, medical students and other health care workers" to voluntarily treat the illegals absolutely free of charge and on their own time.

Let's see how fast they are to offer their time, FREE OF CHARGE!
