Can you imagine having an injured, bleeding child and you call 911 and get that recorded message giving you all kinds of options to press? Actually what these people want are only fluent Spanish speakers answering those calls, they don't believe they must speak English fluently ----very very few people are fluent in both languages ---so it must be Spanish they speak.

Yes, I CAN understand the mess (COST) this multi-language
crapola is bringing to the USA, but it's apparent this is
just one more thing the gov't chooses to ignore.

From what I've read, looks like Clinton made it a law, and
Bush hasn't taken any steps to change this law. This is also
another reason medical costs continue to climb, doctors and
hospitals required to provide translators in ANY language
demanded by the client, if drs. & hosps. are recieving any
federal monies.


"Executive Order 13166, requires all government agencies, and all entities receiving federal funds (such as doctors and hospitals), to provide their services in any foreign language demanded by a client."
