Yes ---in many parts of the country now, the non-paying patients are outnumbering the insured patients. Already here only 32% of the population bothers with private insurance, 34% has Medicaid or Medicare and 34% don't even have that ---but everyone is equally "entitled" to the same health care ----even if they just came over from Mexico.

No doubt this article is not going to mention the fact that the 12% increase in population comes from immigration.

During this same period, didn't our congress vote to let 200,000 h1b visas into this country every year? Didn't they close their eyes to the 1500 illegals coming into our country daily? What about the Russians, Somolies, ME, and other immigrants coming into our countries? After they get here, they then bring their extended families.

Now they are telling us that we have a nursing shortage and ERs are closing for lack of pay? DUH!

Most all of this has been done under the leadership of the Republican Congress.
