Don't just repeat what other ignorants are saying, in USA illegal immigrants do not qualify for free health care, and please do not tell me they have fake ID's ..Have you seen those fake ID's if anybody gets fool by one of them that person should be fired immediatly. And if you know anybody you should report that agency to INS department. But you need to stop this myth/nonesense that illegals are getting FREE health care now.

You are totally right. Only 17% of Hispanics are on welfare and the ones that are have to be legal. As of free health care, usually illegal immigrants don't take advantage of it because they believe they'll get deported even though there's no way that may happen.
__Give me as many thumbs down as you'd like. HATE ME BECAUSE I'M MEXICAN. It sucks living with hate inside. I don't care how much Americans hate Mexicans, I'm still very HAPPY!!!

Actually, by law a hostpital can't turn away people if it is an emergency. So if an illegal immigrant has a child and is rushed to hospital. They can't just tell her to leave, they have to take care of her. Then tey will give the bill later, but because they are illegal and hospital can't really make them pay. The hospital can get funds back from govn't for this but the illegal immigrant has to vouch that he/she is an illegal immigrant, which you can imagine is hard to do. 18 hospitals have been closed in california cause they coudn't afford to stay open. The whole free benefits thing is that most illegals don't pay taxes, but they get to use the roads, parks, and other things.

Tell that to the southern Arizona hospitals that have had to shut down the trauma centers due to all the free care they had to provide to illegals. Do you really think that if they are ill or injured the hospital will send them back to Mexico BEFORE at least stablizing them?
Tell that to the maternity wards that deliver all the "anchor babies" that are born here every year. Not only do the mothers get free care but now the baby is a citizen so it gets free care & usually financial assistance...plus now we can't kick mom out of the country so she gets aid too.

I see it all the time where I live. A women I know works in a bank and she see one person with 2 different driver's lic and sometimes they have 2 different social security cards. So they can collect 2 pay checks from their employer. I also see alot of Insurance fraud where I work with illegals, we try to report it but the welfare and insurance companies do not have the time and resources to look into!

In our town , the Catholic Church helps them fill out paper work so they can get free benefits and health care .
I know they get it because I was with one when he had to go to hospital . He was in a automobile accident and had no valid drivers license or insurance , but told the cop where he worked . I knew he was illegal and said so , cop wouldn't do anything because it was to much hassle , his work paid his fine and he went back driving to work , same as before .
If it had been me or you we would have lost our job ,and went to jail , but then we're American Citizens

I keep wondering how all of these "for-profit" clinics run by Hispanic doctors and nurses stay in business since all of the illegals are getting free healthcare. Everywhere I turn I see a new "clinica" popping up. I actually have a friend who delivered her baby using one of these clinics. She paid $7000 out-of-pocket in monthly payments for the service.
Why do they keep building these clinics since all illegals are getting free healthcare from our government and how are they staying in business?

Nobody is getting free anything. Everything comes with a price. Most Illegals will go to the emergency out of fear, on the chance that ICE will come and get them. It's a terrible life.

Ask Bush and the North American Union. It's implemented and that's why Illegals can get health care.

WTF .... Have You Been Under The Porch Too Long ??
An illegal alien can cross the border,
have a baby five minutes later,
In A US Hospital At US TAXPAYERS Expense
In Other Words, FREE HEALTH CARE
To The ILLEGAL ALIEN
NOT Free To US Taxpayers
The birth of an anchor baby is only the beginning.
As the child grows he or she is entitled
to a multitude of other taxpayer-funded programs.

I work in the ER and I will tell you that a lot of them get dropped of by hommie ambulance, with no ID on them. They then walk out without paying and without checking out at the checkout desk. There are also many doctors out there who treat people on a cash basis, no insurance needed and that's where they go. Remember medical professionals take an oath to save lives above all else. They come in get treated and simply walk out.
