This looks like a SCOTUS decision coming down the pike.
I just can’t quite get a grasp on why it is that I should pay for someone elses health problems even if they are citizens. Now I must pay for people who shouldn’t even be in this country, criminal aliens.
I’m sick of my tax money going for this crap. Send them packing, sick or not.
I know the medical centers won't be happy about this, but it's high time we quit underwriting the insurance polices of those who break into our nation.
I will say one thing though. If the federal government is going to continue to force hospitals to provide care to anyone who shows up at the door, it's not right to then deny payment for that care.
Time to single out illegals and tell them the gig is up. Health care down... education to go...
This link describes political lunacy.
FReepmail me if you want on or off my New York ping list.
Didn't a revolution settle that issue?
Do we need another one?
Recessions and depressions are a great time to expel, deport, get rid of these foreign invaders. That’s how it’s always been historically
There are Strong indications recession is coming —— we should be getting rid of them any which way we can. Illegal aliens are competing for jobs with Americans
How about a “send the bill to Mexico” system. If Mexico (or whatever country of origin) pays, the state gets reimbursed. Otherwise it’s stiffed. And either way the party gets kicked back to his or her home country after out of the hospital.
Here’s a good definition of Emergeny Treatment. If you are sent home to come back later for treatment, its not an emergency.
I worked uninterrupted for almost 42 yrs, until an injury, and subsequent bad surgery. I am now disabled, and have no insurance, nor can I afford to purchase at $831.00 per months Social Security. My waiting time for medicare is 2 yrs, and I still have 1 yrs to go. I limit my visits only to emergencies, and when I go to the emergency room, I receive a bill, and pay for it. I would like to know how it is that these illegals get ‘free’ care, when I can’t?
Back in the good old days of Ellis Island, immigrants who were ill were sent home, as were those with no sponsors. That’s when we were “a nation of immigrants” instead of a squatting zone for sick, unemployed, illegal riff-raff from around the world.
Thanks neverdem.
Chemotherapy is no more “emergency” medical care than surgically removing a tumor in a scheduled surgery is emergency care.
Emergency medical care is what it is. Everyone knows getting a deep cut on a foot sutured up is emergent care. Getting carpal tunnel surgery is not.
A trademark of Liberals when they attempt to change the scope of a particular piece of legislation, is that they often accomplish it not by changing the legislation itself, by by changing the meaning of the words defining ithe legislation, either broadening or narrowing the the scope of citizens affected for political reasons.
Of this approach, when they succeed, they are often quite proud.
Chemotherapy is NOT emergency care. It is a treatment. No way in hell should taxpaying, American citizens be paying for chemotherapy for illegal aliens.
6.5 billion people on the planet.
Av. income is $10K around the world. So half of world pop. earns at the U.S. Federal poverty line, & qualifies for Federal aid of some sort...
CLOSE THE BORDERS, until these nations increase their OWN productivity — we can’t afford it.
We are only 300 million. We CAN’T AFFORD to SUPPORT six billion people
