Outrageous that Mexico can run centers in U.S. cities to tell illegals where to get free health care and not be turned over to ICE.

Calif. Hospitals Spend $1.25 Bil On Illegal Immigrants This article is severely lacking. It doesn't even tell us how many illegal aliens the hosptials were able to purchase for their $1.25 Billion, never mind what they DID with them all...

Everyone from Maine to Washington state from the North and to the South pay for California hospitals and if Obama has his way so we will be paying much more via a state bailout!

That’s just one state’s expenses in one area of the gimme teat. That’s not what the hospitals charge US citizens to make up the difference. That’s not including housing, education, courts, police, etc. that’s needed for the 30 million or so illegals we’re babysitting in the other 49 states and US territories.

RE :”
The group that represents most of the nations hospitals and medical providers recently urged President Obama to work with Congress to reimburse them for the monstrous cost of treating illegal immigrants. Federal law requires facilities to treat and stabilize individuals regardless of their immigration status, but federal support for the services remains virtually nonexistent, according to a letter submitted by the American Hospital Association to the president. This week officials in California, the state with the largest concentration of illegal immigrants, joined the call for federal compensation after revealing that hospitals there spend about $1.25 billion annually to care for illegal aliens. The figure skyrocketed from $1.05 billion in 2007, according to California Hospital Association figures quoted in a local news report. “
I propose a idea a while back to handle this. Hospitals should be reimbursed for this ‘free’ mandated care under the federally mandated requirement but only if they either : Get the patient to identify themselves, or if not possible to get a valid ID they notify the Federal government that they have a ghost resident patient on their hands for them to investigate. Every uninsured (non-paying) patient should have at least one of the following :
1) VALID drivers license complying with REAL ID,
2) passport,
3) Green immigration card
4) valid SS number
Of course the weak link in my idea is having a POTUS that gives a crap, good luck on that : McCain, GWB, Obama forget it.

Illegals should only be treated for serious or life threatening issues and the final part of that treatment should be deportation.

Hey, we have Border Patrol agents telling apprehended injured aliens that they are not under arrest but that they need to get out of the agent’s car(parked off of hospital property)and walk into the Emergency Department. If they arrest and deliver the alien to the local ED,some of the money for medical care is paid for by the Border Patrol. No arrests, no transportation to the hospital, no worries.

It also spends billions educating their children and policing their enclaves while they thumb their noses at America, staying patriotic and allegiant to their home countries. They're here to suck as much wealth out of our country as they can, and they're doing a darn good job of it.

...hospitals there spend about $1.25 billion annually to care for illegal aliens.Note it doesn't say the hospitals loose $1.25 billion because they don't. Much of that is made up through cost shifting, etc.
But I agree that if the Feds make the hospitals see patients who cannot pay, no matter the reason, the Feds should chip in for the cost.
Ideally, the Fed law should be changed to tighten up the loophole.

Correct, health care is only part of it.
Our politicians keep saying we can’t afford to deport the huge number of illegals that are here. I say we can’t afford not to deport them, they’re costing us more in welfare services than it would cost to deport them.

You go to the hospital, check your bill for “indigent treatment”.
I belileve this goes to pay for people who come to the hospital who cannot afford treatment.
Would hate to think we are paying twice.
