The case against a South Florida hospital that quietly chartered a plane and sent a seriously brain injured illegal immigrant back to Guatemala over the objections of his family and legal guardian was in the hands of a jury Thursday.

It all depends on the makeup of the jury.The more “victims of an oppressive America” there are on that jury the better for the illegal who,much to his surprise,found himself back in the only country in which he has a legal...or a moral...right to be.
A small price to pay for cheaper tomatoes, plus its patriotic to foot the bills for illegal aliens. (sarc)
I suspect I’ll be in the minority here, but a business that makes Marcus Welby noises ought to do Marcus Welby things. Since the medical world is fond of posing as a pure benefactor of all mankind, they ought to either put up or shut up.
at least the invader got to go home in a private jet.(sarc)
I read about this in the local press here in Florida a couple of days ago. Incredible.
I’ve never understood why we don’t have some sort of agreement with the countries of our illegal immigrants that they will pay for their medical care in this country or will pay for their transportation back to their countries. We could take it out of their foreign aid if they don’t comply.
I wonder if Obama included medical tourism in his health care plan?
You are EXACTLY right. Trial Lawyers know that all they need to do is pack the juries with Liberals (aka, Democrat voters), and they have the OJ-style "social justice/unfairness" syndrome captured which is how we got to the Litigation Lotto form of "Justice" we have now.
They did do Marcus Welby things. The cost of his care was over a million dollars. You think they would spend that kind of money on you with absolutely no hope of having one penny of it paid?
I think $1 mil is quite a charitable gift (forced) to a foreigner.
Let me tell ya something Grut.
Two years ago I got viral pneumonia and went to this very hospital.
I sat hacking up blood for three hours as illegal after illegal from Indiantown was seen before I was.
Then I got a bill for my visit that was so outrageous I went down and spoke to them.
I was told that my bill was so high because the hospital had to come up with a way to pay for ALL THOSE ILLEGALS.
There are about 8 cities near here that are little more than illegal farm workers yet I’ve yet to see ICE in any of them.
Guess they do not have enough busses to round up all the illegals and send them back to from where they came.
We should not be treating illegals. We should send them ALL back.
If I was the Chief Administrator at the hospital I would have ordered an ambulance with EMTs to to deliver him to the nearest Guatamalian Embassy along with a bill payable to the hospital.
This such crap! And those in DC wonder why health care is so expensive? I’m tired of my tax dollars going to pay for illegals and don’t care from which country they came.
Makes great sense.
He was an ILLEGAL? Then the hospital should be rewarded, not attacked.
Should have shipped him to the Senate..C.O.D.!!
And thus we have devastation, which could very justly and cogently be addressed with the proper negotiations with the invading countries.
"They," the elites, the Council on Foreign Relations, GWB, Hillary Clinton, Soros, McCain, etc. etc. know this. They are not dumb. Just sinister.
They are intentionally, knowledgeably, and furtively sacrificing the prosperity of the United States for a "global" vision which can only possibly lead to impoverishment.
Mexico has a multitude of resources, arable land, two coasts, minerals, etc. Why wouldn't the US insist on it taking responsibility for its own people and progress, like just parents insist their children begin to take care of themselves? Why wouldn't the US insist that their immigrants come through the front door (which already does exist) like any civilized consortium?
Your experience in that hospital, as a taxpayer and US citizen, is directly attributable to the most sinister and corrupt federal government we have ever seen in Wash DC. And that unfortunately applies almost as much to Republicans as Democrats.
They swear to protect the US and its citizens then stab them in the back, like so many government bureaucrats.
It should be crystal clear by now, Obama the perfect symbol, that immense powers in Washington DC, Presidents, Senators, Think Tanks, Major Media, have an agenda contrary to the honest taxpayers they supposedly speak for.
"They" can do this because they have protected themselves in advance with sequestered wealth and privileges; like for instance not becoming participants in Obamacare.
We have a really really ugly federal government. That is why "they" hate Sarah Palin.
