True story. A few months ago I was hospitalized for a kidney infection. I had no health insurance at the time, my work does not cover me. I was told by the hospital that I could apply for medical aid to help pay the bill. I recieved a phone call just yesterday informing me that I was declined any aid. What they told me was appalling, the reason I could not get any aid was because I'm not a drug addict or an alcoholic, unmarried mother with two or more kids, a refugee, and yes an illegal alien!! I have been working since I was 15 and paying taxes ever since, I never applied for any kind of government aid in my life, this one time that I would have really needed it, the government slapped me in the face. Do you think it is better I renounce my citizenship? The medical claims office informed me illegals get all kinds of aid, no questions asked. Do you think this is fair? I have been contact my local and state government to complain, I recomend it to all legal tax payers out there
