Lack of insurance is causing the increase of these diseases?

Question

there was a news report on WNPR, CT about a study done by the Hispanic Health Council. The study concluded that the lack of health insurance amongst the Hipanic population in CT is causing the rise of: cardio-vascular diseases, diabetes, sexually transmitted diseases, and many others. The director of the council went on to complain that the illegal immigrants are costing CT tremendous amount of money in health care. The low income hispanics should have universal health care. and at the end, this woman said that they wanted to ask the law makers and state government to help the Hispanic population to break the Language barrier so they can have better access to better health care.

I don't know about you, but I couldn't help but laugh at such intentionally false reasoning of a problem(what a cop-out, the Hispanics have the State Gov. to blame for their bad diet, their poor choice of sexual practice,ect...)
and yeah, like these latinos tried soo hard to learn English all these years.

this is for those who did or will call me a racist.
If seeing things the way they really are is being a racist, then I am happy to be one.
I am sure more bleeding hearts will slam me with worse names, but you know what,
bring it on!!!
Yes every one in this country after the indians is an immigrant, but there has never, ever a group of immigrants that has so blatantly abused, exhausted, and damaged the resources of this country like the illegal Hispanics for as long as they have.

Answer 1

I feel real sorry for them..Do you know how many people born in the USA don't have health coverage. I needed to go into the hospital a few weeks ago and it was an emergency..They ran my medicare card to see if I had coverage..if not they said "sorry, you are covered" we can't take you...I worked from the time I was 16 and am now on disability..I am lucky ..I have medicare...A lot of families have NOTHING. Forgive me if I don't shed a tear

Answer 2

The same thing is causing those diseases as are caused by the rest of the population.
Got a heart problem? Quit eating those Big Macs and start doing aerobics!
Diabetes can be genetic and sometimes even occur at birth, but the fastest growing majority of diabetes cases are caused by our eating habits, especially in children. So, once again, watch what you eat!
Don't want an STD? Don't have sex! Or, use a condom!
Whatever legal status or race you are if you start blaming other people for getting diseases which come from YOUR lifestyle choices, you have a problem. It is NOT the government's responsibility to make ANYONE eat correctly, exercise, and practice safe sex!!!!
And if you came here to live and work, perhaps it would have been wise to learn the language instead of griping that you can't get things done because no one here speaks the language of your home country!

Answer 3

No it isn't. Lack of a healthy lifestyle is causing any increase in disease. Insurance does not promote a healthy lifestyle.

After typing my first 2 sentences, I actually read past the heading of your question. I guess we actually agree. What makes the Hispanic Health Council think PAYING for universal health care will cost CT less than what they pay now?

Answer 4

No i do no longer. I own a small employer. I pay the entire quantity of wellbeing coverage and pay the entire coverage for my workers. in case you want to employ high quality human beings you want to compensate them wisely. i do no longer choose wellbeing themes interfering with operating the employer, and it truly is the right element to do. contained in the technologies section we do have a touch bit a disadvantage over the adult males that employ off shore or H1B persons with out advantages. If we had well-known coverage, maximum employer proprietors would earnings from a aspect playing field.
