I'm a veteran of Operation Enduring Freedom and I dont get medical care. Someone please tell me how illegals get medical care because I want in on this program. The only health care I get is through Planned Parenthood, and you better believe I pay for it.

I am not joking. I am sitting here in my BDUs right now, and I have no health insurance. Tricare does not provide for the Guard.

Well you see, I have this job in which I put on a military uniform every day and I have to take physical training tests and qualify with an M16 so I can shoot back at whoever shoots at me, and there is no health insurance in my benefits package. So where do I get free medical care?

The only two defining forces that have ever offered to die for you was Jesus Christ and the American soldier.
One died for you soul and the other for your freedom.
Never forget God and Country!

Well see I have this job and part of my benefits package means I pay so much every paycheck so that I can go see a doctor.
Other people without that can go into Urgent Cares and Hospitals and get full medical attention and not have to pay for it. They get to claim their illegality and no one does anything about it. However, the $150 that comes out of my paycheck ONCE A WEEK is what keeps this happening.

Emergency rooms cannot turn away those who cannot pay. Those who don't have trackable identities can say they have whatever income they like.
Look at maternity ward services written off in areas where illegals concentrate. The numbers are huge. I have read that some border hospitals have closed their maternity wards because people would walk across the border pregnant, right into the hospital. The hospital isn't allowed to turn them away, but many can't afford to stay open and carry these costs.

Come to any Emergency Room in Texas and I'll show you how. Hospital Emergency Rooms cannot legally turn anyone away for lack of insurance or ability to pay.
I'll put my house up that I can take you to the Emergency Room at John Peter Smith Hospital in Ft Worth, TX tonight and half the people in there will be illegal aliens with no insurance and sick kids. They don't have insurance so they use the emergency room the same way I use my insurances primary care doctor. Problem is, I have to pay for mine (and theirs).
Get legal, learn English, assimilate or get the hell out of my country!

It's because we have a federal law (EMTALA) that says anyone who goes to an e.r. MUST be treated,whether they can pay or NOT! This law was intended for legal american citizens, bujt these illegals have been abusing the law for YEARS, because they know our laws better than we do! They know that all they have to do, is make it to the nearest e.r., and they will get "free" treatment! The cost, of course, gets passed on to every taxpaying american citizen! this cost us billions of dollars every year, for these illegals!

If you show up at a hospital, they have to treat you, regardless of yor ability to pay. So, illegals go to a local ER, get treated for whatever and then simply don't pay the bill. The complaints they go for are not minor things like needing antibiotics (although they show up in droves at the ER for that too....driving the costs way up) but for serious conditions that cost thousands of dollars at a pop.

Warning: extreme sarcasm alert.
The answer to your problem is obvious: you speak, read and write English. If that isn't bad enough, you're a contributing member of society. You probably even keep your house & yard tidy!
My first move, if I were you, would be to sneak into Mexico under cover of darkness. I'm *sure* you can get free stuff *there*!

I'm 1 22 year vet, and I feel the same way. Yes all they do is go to the er, and they must give them care, and get this, in most states they can't be asked for papers.

Have a large family and a low wage. Illegals have that plus fake ID#'s. Maybe we should all make up a fake large family, get some fake birth certificates, fake SS#'s for all of them and go file for food stamps, welfare and medical on the sliding scale. WE would be caught and imprisoned. They get all the benefits and no punishment. But, their days are numbered. It'll soon catch up with them.

"I'm a veteran of Operation Enduring Freedom and I dont get medical care"
To get free medical care, you must first be an illegal alien, lol.
I sincerely thank you for your sacrifices to your country.
