"...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...."

Maybe I misunderstand you...do you think the healthcare industry will be disappointed if the administration makes it more difficult for illegals to force healthcare providers to render services on uninsured patients?

While the burden of healthcare for illegal immigrants is not financially catastrophic up where I live...yet...it IS catastrophic for many institutions in states with unusually large populations.

Additionally, the burden on the overcrowded Emergency Rooms alone that impacts the ability of insured citizens (or any citizen) to receive emergency health care is adversely impacted because the emergency rooms are full to the brim with people seeking routine healthcare.

Right now there is a mandate that hospitals grant care to any person that shows up at their doors. If a person with cancer shows up, even they must be stabalized, enough to return home. If hospitals do not provide this service, they can have their Medicare contract stripped out from under them. And any other government funds, can be lost as well. This would essentially shut down most hospitals.

If the federal government is going to require this, then they must pay for the services rendered to illegal immigrants.

Do I approve of illegal aliens getting free healthcare? Nope.

They belong in Mexico. That is their true home. We have not responsibilty for them, and they don’t belong here.

They can not support themselves. Citizen taxpayers of the U.S. should not have to foot the bill. It is wrong.
