Because, "It free" at E.R.'s. Illegals are the biggest cause of our health care cost increase. Every time one of them goes for free care, that bill is added onto a paying patients bill. They don't want to pay for anything. The carpet mills in Dalton, Georgia, offered insurance to every employee, legal or not. The illegals wouldn't take it because medical care was free at the E.R.'s. The mills didn't mind. It's less money out of their pockets. This amounted to Americans picking up part of the cost of doing business for the mills.
The “free ERs” have been closing in CA and here in NJ as well. As the states cut reimbursements for these services, the hospitals went into the red; as a result, they’ve been closing their emergency rooms while still operating the hospital itself. You bet you ass when you show up there, you have an appointment and the means to pay (at least a real name & address).
