The price also shot up when many began to use the emergency room as their primary care and didn’t pay the bill, leaving it to be spread among the rest of us.
Illegals are one of the biggest culprits of this. Illegals are the elephant in the room that no one wants to discuss not only with health care issues, but social services, education, court and jail systems.
That is why I cannot get too concerned about people that want to cut this and that from the military, veterans, elderly; but never cut services to people that should not be here to begin with.
I will believe someone is serious about cutting budgets if they address the issue of the cost of illegals first.
You got that right - but once someone shows up at the ED, they must be treated no matter what by law. No one gets asked if they are here legally. We go to the expense of having translators for every known language under the sun and worry about their ethnic/cultural needs. Obamacare never intended to do anything about that huge elephant in the room. Rubio is such a liar when he says no one will get any services if we pass this latest piece of immigration crap. Pardon me if I don’t believe any of these bastards any more: Rome is burning, Senators and Representatives - what are you doing about it??? Traitors one and all.
