Here we have the Tarrant County League Of Women Voters lobbying a public hospital system board to reverse its 2004 decision to restrict charitable health care to legal citizens.

It so happens that my tax dollars support this program so it's of particular interest to me. We aren't talking about emergency care here, but ongoing comprehensive health care services. I have a solution: each esteemed member of The League of Women Voters should sponsor at least one illegal and be responsible for all of said illegal's health care costs, removing the burden from the general population who overwhelmingly oppose paying for their health care. It's a win-win proposal.

I was just thinking the same thing. There would be nothing to prevent the League from paying for all the ILLEGAL health care that it, or any liberal group, wants to pay for. Just quit sucking the taxpayers dry.

The complete madness of some of the American people is unbelievable. For God's sake you have citizens who are hurting and in need of the health care these people steal by being in this country in the first place. They are illegal aliens who deserve nothing but a bus ticket home.

A Somali arrives in Minneapolis as a new immigrant to the United States. He
stops the first person he sees walking down the street and says, "Thank
you
Mr. American for letting me in this country, and giving me housing, food
stamps, free medical care and free education!"

But the passer-by says "You are mistaken, I am Mexican."

The man goes on and encounters another passer-by. "Thank you for having
such
a beautiful country here in America!"

The person says "I no American, I Vietnamese."

The new arrival walks further, and the next person he sees he stops, shakes
his hand and says "Thank you for the wonderful America!"

That person puts up his hand and says "I am from Middle East, I am not an
American!"

He finally sees a nice lady and asks suspiciously, "Are you an
American?"

She says, "No, I am from Russia!" So he is puzzled, and asks her,
"Where are
all the Americans?"

The Russian lady looks at her watch, shrugs, and says ... "Probably at
work!"

better yet... take that same money, and SEND THEIR AZZ BACK HOME!!!

It would be interesting to know what a basic health insurance 80/20 policy premium a legal resident of that county has to pay to get the same "care" these socialist PAC groups want to "give" to illegals, and calculate what percentage of the legal resident's taxes should be refunded back to them...
Perhaps more low income legal residents could actually afford health insurance, if they were not already paying via taxation schemes for illegal aliens, and various slackers and socialists medical care.
Is it possible insurance premiums would decrease for everyone, regardless of income level, if fewer numbers of government mandated programs designed to unfairly benefit the "we are criminals, and we don't have to pay for anything" recipients, were mandated to be served?
What additional cutting edge health care treatments would our wounded and disabled military veterans receive if these PAC groups cared a whit about our constitution?
Just a few thoughts, as I fly naked(without health insurance) because I can't afford the COBRA premiums, and it is another 60 days before I am eligible to pay a $500.00 a month premium for a plan with a 5K annual deductible before any benefits kick in.

“I think the public needs to be aware that JPS is a public hospital district, and there is a mission to the poor and low-income residents of Tarrant County,” said Charlotte Hyams, first vice president of the Tarrant County League of Women Voters. “We are going to urge the board to reconsider their 2004 vote. We believe that JPS’ mission is to provide healthcare for the indigent, including the undocumented immigrants who live here.”

Fine. If that is what you think the mission is, Ms. Charlotte Hyams, YOU can pay for these illegal migrants healthcare. I DON'T WANT TO!!!

These people are illegally here. That is a disqualifier, especially since the taxes to pay for their treatment are extracted from lawful citizens and residents by the implied threat of deadly force.

A person who says I must pay for the care of an illegal is saying that is worth sending the SWAT team to collect the taxes.

The advocates of this policy are welcome to hold a telethon, bake sale, or offer to wash cars to raise the funds for their "compassion". If they asked for money like Jerry Lewis asks (politely and with a smile), maybe they would be surprised at how much people like myself would donate.

But please, don't depreciate the meaning of citizenship by demanding that I pay for the care of people who knew they were sneaking into the country, primarily for their own economic benefit.

Exactly. I can't believe some people think they have the right to go into your wallet and hand out your hard earned money.

[dalereed]

They misspelled the name of the organization, it's The League of Women Vipers!

[brytlea]

Excellent proposal.

The Tarrant County League of Women Voters is joining another political advocacy group’s campaign to expand publicly funded healthcare to illegal immigrants through JPS Health Network clinics.

The League of Women Voters is anti-gun, pro tax, pro illegal immigration.

My personal inclination would be to strip them of all their assets and give said assets to the richest 1% of taxpayers, and then sell them as sex slaves and use their profits to pay for what they want for the illegal immigrants. It will give them a whole new perspective on life in america.

[Dante3]

All this catering to illegal aliens is perverted. They are often being rewarded and given special perks BECAUSE they have broken laws. What a horrible example to impressionable youngsters as well as everyone else.

[ZULU]

"Under federal law, no patient can be denied treatment in an emergency room."

RIGHT.

And so, these illegal invaders, and the parasitic employers who exploit them and don't provide any medical coverage, suck off the public ..... dole.

When Illegals get sick for ANYTHING they go to OUR hospital emergency rooms, interfere with treatment for major health problems with their minor problems and WE get to pay for it through OUR taxes and higher health insurance premiums. The hospitals must pass part of that cost onto OUR health insurance companies, part of it to the government (US) and part of it they just have to swallow - like we have had to swollow this kind of tripe from politically correct morons like these do-gooders for all too long now.

[MrEdd]

I offer them a compromize. We will allow the Tarrant County League Of Women Voters to pay for healthcare for the illegals healthcare.

[Republicus2001]

Why can't these phony immigrants just get a legal ID, do the paperwork and be done with it...they only butt in line is because they're just to damn selfish to do it right...

[goldstategop]

If private groups want to front the cash for it, its their money. But it shouldn't be paid for by the taxpayers.
