Two-thirds of the outpatient clinic’s patients are illegal immigrants. An estimated $50 million in uncompensated care this year. The sad but undeniable truth of this situation is that the expense of providing care to the illegals is causing this facility to close, so citizens and those who are here legally will no longer have this care, either.

Where are the liberals who care so much about these illegals when it comes to paying for their costs? Why don’t they open their checkbooks and pay the $50 million a year for free dialysis? Oh no, they just expect the rest of us who work to pay for it.

Well, illegal immigrants have bankrupted 10 major hospitals in California in just a few years. Two of them were almost 100 years in business.

Send the illegals home. We can’t continue to provide long term care like dialysis to people who aren’t here legally.

If we didn't PROMOTE HIV all over the world, we could serve these people.

I'd rather provide treatment to the innocent than homosexuals who caused their own problem.

$24 million a year is being spent on illegal alien dialysis here in Vegas. It is simply unsustainable, we aren’t the hospital to the world.

a 32-year-old illegal immigrant from Honduras, said she could only hope to make it “back to my country to die.”

We should help her.....

Such is the price of complacency and lack of comprehension regarding illegal activities; even if, this demographic were legitimate, there would still be expenses, loses and liabilities to the public with no underlying cost base.

One of the biggest problems with our healthcare system is the abuse it suffers because of non paying ‘immigrants’...but neither side wants to address it.

A legal immigrant from Nepal told me yesterday that, as in most developing countries, you must pay cash at the door for care. No money, no treatment—simple as that.

She was a bit puzzled when she heard that many people got “free” health care here in the US.

NJ is undergoing massive hospital closings for the same reasons with the same results.
