Rocio, a Mexican woman living in Norristown, is scheduled to have her second baby, a boy, by cesarean section next Sunday at Montgomery Hospital. At that point, Medicaid, the federal and state insurance program for the poor, will pay for her hospital care and that of her baby, who will be an American citizen. --snip-- There is a problem with underreporting of how many undocumented women there really are, and they're putting a huge strain on all of the safety-net systems," said Natalie Levkovich, executive director of the Health Federation of Philadelphia.

Hire a Gulfstream.
Fly her back to Mehhhhicko City.
It’ll be much cheaper.
don’t worry, when mrs. clinton is elected in “08, we will have universal health care.
people from mars and the moon will be coming to our hospitals.
We just had a raid here. I looked at the name of the owner of the property and laughed. It was a local big wheel (our biggest). Purely political takedown.
The problem is Mexico itself. It doesn't give a damn about its' people or progress. It's a filthy pig-sty.
They are everywhere and the place is really looking, well, poor.
There is a problem with underreporting of how many undocumented women there really are, and they’re putting a huge strain on all of the safety-net systems,” said Natalie Levkovich, executive director of the Health Federation of Philadelphia. “We’re all in the same miserable, leaky boat
And there it is. We are now all in the same miserable boat. - so tell the good taxpayers of Pa just how making them legal magically makes the money appear to change that strain? Moron.
I really don’t like this anchor baby business. I remember one woman last year deliberately got on a plane while in labor, flew to somewhere in the northern US, and ended up delivering the baby on the plane...which was over US airspace at the time. She held it as long as she could to be sure. When they landed, the baby was an automatic American and mommy could stay, of course. This was actually much safer and cheaper than hiring a coyote to smuggle them in. They had air conditioning and peanuts and in-flight movies.
My niece is an OB/GYN who took her pre-med at HAAAAVVAAAAADDD! Needless to say, she emerged from that experience a FLAMING, BLEEDING HEART LIBERAL.
Upon completing her medical training at yet another liberal university, she interned at a hospital near the border in San Diego.
It was there that a mystical transformation took place: She began to connect the heavy deductions from the GROSS EARNINGS for which she busted her butt for as many as 72 virtually sleepless hours in a row with the taxis and jalopies regularly sliding to the curb in front of the ER.
Many of them contained pregnant illegals who won the race to deliver their babies HERE. She caught many of those babies who, under the current — and ERRONEOUS — interpretation of the 14th Amendment were IMMEDIATELY NEW AMERICANS. The mother – who, obviously, could not care for the child if she were back in her native land — could not be deported now even if the INS and the political bosses WANTED her deported . And as the mother of a new US citizen, the woman could remain here for about as long as she cared to – and that was usually for life.
Most of those patients were welfare recipients and the deliveries were charity cases: The bill for the hospital’s – and HER services – were routinely spread over the bills of those who DO pay. And what the other users of those facilities don’t cover went back to the taxpayers.
And since my niece was now a taxpayer, they were costing HER.
And while she may not exactly be a libertarian, today she’s now a LOOONNNNG way from Haaaavaaaaaad.
And just so the bleeders who might see this don’t think me some sort of ethnocentric bigot, I submit this problem is MORE than just about illegals.
Before my oldest daughter was born at University Hospital in Cleveland in 1967, I sat in the main lobby as welfare mother-to-be after welfare mother-to-be shuffled through the door to the maternity ER for THEIR free deliveries.
Before WE could take OUR daughter home, I had to cough up over 3 grand. And that was a great deal of dough in 1967, especially for a guy just out of the USAF.
As I wrote the check, I remembered the magazine article I’d recently read by a hospital administrator from Massachusetts who admitted that all US hospitals practiced a form of medical Marxism, spreading the costs of care for indigents over the bills of those who DO pay for care. Given the move to socialism here, it probably will never be otherwise: Not counting Byzantine complexity and confusion, government produces – and has — NOTHING unless it first takes it from some PERSON. SOMEBODY ALWAYS PAYS.
Look, I have a big enough problem paying for the 3rd and 4th generation slackers and welfare bums who were BORN here.
It’s time we stopped paying for those who were not.

Undocumented women constitute 60 to 65 percent of about 3,000 prenatal patients treated at city health clinics yearly, said Kate Maus, the Philadelphia Department of Public Health's director of maternal, child and family health. Eight years ago, she said, "all of them were insured."
SUV Chase & Crash Kills 3
Last Update: Jul 9, 2007 6:54 AM

Three people are dead and more than a dozen are hurt when a high speed police chase comes to a crashing halt.
This all started early Monday morning in Atascosa county, but it ended in east Bexar County.
Investigators say a Ford Excursion was packed with around 20 people, most believed to be illegal immigrants, reached speeds of 100-miles per hour. A police officer from the town of Natalia first spotted the SUV, and soon law officers from the Bexar County Sheriff’s Department and the San Antonio Police Department joined in.
Investigators say the chase ended on IH-10 east near Loop 1604 after the black Excursion blew a tire and flipped several times. A number of people were thrown from the SUV, including the three men who were killed. San Antonio Police say a few other illegal immigrants were able to crawl out of the wreck and took off running, but they were caught a short time later.
“We believe we identified the driver, we have him in custody, and we’ll follow up with what investigation needs to pertain to that person”, said SAPD Sgt. Gabe Trevino.
Investigators say none of the law officers involved in the chase did anything that would have caused the SUV to crash. So far, none of the people involved in the crash have been identified.

Luckily they didn’t kill any innocent American citizens this time!!! When do we say enough already?
When the liberal rag Inquirer reports this as a big problem, you know there is a tide change occurring.
It’s the welfare / government interference with the health care industry that is also part of the problem.
It’s the same with the education / university system in the country.
Taxpayers are forced to subsidize the Marxist ideologies of elected lawmakers who have rigged their own system which enables them to stay in office to come up with these schemes.
Re-distribution of wealth via health care and education.
The fleecing of the American taxpayer.
The purpose of the US welfare system is to create a permanent underclass of fat, ugly, lazy, stupid people who, when they can get off their lardly arses to vote, will pull the lever for the party that promises them the most freebies. And we all know which party that is - although the pubbies under Jorge are making a serious attempt at catch-up.
I work in an emergency room where I see plenty of these types (of ALL races) who have what they like to call “State Insurance” (Medicaid). They are living proof that fetal cell division does not always go like its supposed to...
Oh yeah, I forgot the “Tattoo-to-tooth ratio” which is usually heavily in favor of the tattoos in this group. Lots of piercings too. I guess when you get free health care, free food, and subsidized rent all without having the hassle of a job you can afford to decorate your person. Plenty of time to make more little welfare recipients too.
Since 1997, 14 area hospitals have stopped delivering babies.
Undocumented women constitute 60 to 65 percent of about 3,000 prenatal patients treated at city health clinics yearly,
Eight years ago, she said, "all of them were insured."
Drexel University College of Medicine is using medical school tuition to keep its obstetrics program afloat as it staffs city health clinics
New Jersey, ... use their own money to fund Medicaid coverage for prenatal care for illegal immigrant women. But the $3.8 million - enough for 7,439 women - runs out after only about four months,
Much of their care after that would likely be subsidized by providers,
a pregnant illegal immigrant who had not had prenatal care went to one of his emergency rooms in 2005 with bleeding in her brain caused by preventable conditions. She needed three operations, and her baby was born early and sick. Their care cost the hospital $151,019 , he said, but it got only $23,544
Several worrisome points in this article:
1. Availability of quality health care for Americans is deteriorating, while
2. health care costs for Americans are increasing, while
3. Tuition costs rise to pay for medical care for illegals, which means,
4. Monies which should go towards the future high quality of medical education is being spent now which means,
5. Future quality of health care and medical training is put in jeopardy.
There's the money quote.
Great minds!
“They are living proof that fetal cell division does not always go like its supposed to...”
LOL. Mitosis run amok...
Thanks for your work in that ER. Hope we NEVER meet there. :-))
Boo flippin' hoo. I'm due to have a perfectly normal delivery of my child in early September, and I have to PAY for everything that Keystone HealthBastards East won't -- up friggin' front. And I already AM a citizen. Heck, my insurance and out-of-pocket will be subsidizing this leech.
Oh, these stories make me so MAD I could SPIT.
