A FTWorth hospital almost went broke by illegals, now its considering giving away free care again!?

Question

JPS health network delivers 70% of its 5000 babies a year. In 2004 it allowed illegals to get all sort of free care. Within 6 mths it had 3000 illegals in its system. It almost went broke so it fired 250 casemanager nurses and stopped giving out taxi vouchers for american citizens who couldnt make it to the hospial. Now, the tarrant county league of women voters, ACT and catholic charities asked for them to do this again. The JPS board members are considering this again at their aug board meeting. What would you tell Robert Earley at JPS that they should do. His email is [e-mail]

Answer 1

The hospital doesn't care. If it isn't private the Government will reimburse them for their losses.

Answer 2

Well, this is the first incident. I understand that in the past few years a few hospitals in Calfornia have had to shut their doors for good because of free health care for illegals. It is sad.

Answer 3

I'll say it here, it's time for US taxpayers to stop paying healthcare costs for illegal aliens from Mexico or from anywhere else. What the states can't afford gets passed on to the federal government which means EVERYbody pays for this stuff. Mexico's got money too, they can run their own damn hospitals.

Answer 4

We have hospitals in Arizona going broke TOO!!!! Isn't this DISGUSTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Of course, it's NOT "free", every taxpaying American citizen is STUCK paying for the ILLEGALS bills!!!!!!! But, hey hasn't the ILLEGALS 'supporters' tried to convince us that illegals do not get WELFARE of any kind???!!!! Yeah, RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 5

I really don't know what to say...I'm glad I don't live in TX, it's being taken over by immigrants, and its sick. They need to fix the borders fast!

Answer 6

You had better believe I will write to that person.

Answer 7
