>>The Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act requires hospitals and ambulance services to provide care to anyone needing emergency treatment regardless of citizenship, legal status or ability to pay. <<

Communism takes control of a society in little tiny bites. Each one so small it hardly seems noticeable. An unfunded mandate like this is just a strange and twisted tax on a very small slice of one industry. Hardly enough to piss any significant group of people off, but certainly enough to destroy dozens of fine hospitals, manned by fine and courageous Americans.

I would suggest the owners of these hospitals simply close their doors. That is the only way to get any attention on the problem. So long as they continue to scrape together enough resources to keep their doors open, the congress will think it has done a good thing.

So much for cleaning up Unfunded Mandates. Looks like Congress went AWOL after the supposed reform of it a few years back when the GOP took over Congress.

I understand the Border patrol are told NOT to take the guys they catch to a hospital with broken bones etc. Just get them back to Mexico..The BP has to pay those bills.. (you and me folks)and that does not make the higher ups happy

The ones that bother me are the illegals that come here to give birth and have a US citizen as a kid (Unification act ya know...welfare and ADC and food stamps and wick...all the welfare goodies) I say the child should have the citizenship of the mother..we need a new law on that!

Mom safely delivered needs the first bus back home with her new Mexican child!
