Since illegals have little to no documentation, can I walk into a clinic or hospital, say I am illegal, and get free health care and prescriptions? How can they prove that I am not illegal?

That's my point. How do all these illegals get free health care?

HA! I love your point!! Of course legal working american citizens would not expect to get anything for free! Because legal working american's know and understand that "free healthcare" or "government subsidized" programs.. that money isn't just printed off in the vault somewhere and given out.. the money has to come from somewhere... it comes from our taxes. And the money that doesn't come from our taxes, the health care bills that are never paid, they get " written off" which is basically the loss gets rolled into other areas, so the price of things go up so that these hspitals and clinics can stay afloat... so...
Thanks to everyone who gets " free " healthcare. Not only have my taxes gone up out of control, the price I have to pay for healthcare is outrageous now too!! So I work 2 jobs to support my family. Thanks!!

1) Maybe. It depends on the law of the state or country you are attempting to get free health care from. It also depends if the clinic offers free service. You'd have to find a clinic which offers free service in a state that either requires or allows that to occur.
2) The burden of proof is upon you to prove that you are legal, not the other way around. If they request ID, and you cannot provide it, you should be considered an illegal alien.

Did you know.....illegal Mexicans are going to be given(free) over 200,000 GPS tracking devices by the Mexican government just this year. To help them navigate their way here through Arizona. (I wonder where those devices really come from)
Did you know.....illegals can now come here with fake social security cards and work for 18 months and become qualified to draw social security benefits if they have worked at least 8 years in their own country. Then they can still draw the benefits if they move back to their home country and many do because it is so much more than they can get in Mexico and it's guarunteed. It takes Americans 10 years to get those benefits.
Did you know......illegals are being lured by the IRS to come clean and show their fake documents to prove they've been working here illegally and they will be entitled to federal and state income tax refunds. Those refunds are expected to be over 10 billion dollars just this year.
Are you outraged by this? I am and so should the rest of America.

By law an Emergency Room can not turn any one away .It doesn't matter if they can pay or not.They are billed for the service after they leave.The illegal alien is billed but may or may not pay the bill.Since he/she is illegal and transient and may not have given the hospital the correct name or address that is how they get free medical care.It happens every day,.many hospitals are having to close their doors because the government is not paying them for the cost of the care of illegal aliens.
In California alone:. Uncompensated medical outlays for health care provided to the state's illegal alien population amount to about $1.4 billion a year.

Yes, you can. Go to the ER. By law they must treat you. Take no ID of any kind with you, or, take fake ID. Give all false information so that you never see the bill. When the doc gives you a prescription tell him you have no money at all. The hospital pharmacy will then fill it for you and send the bill to the same fake address as the ER bill.
If anyone asks you questions just tell them you are not from America and do not have "papers" to be here legally. That will cut the conversation off fast.

i know what your saying in order for an american to get free health care is to say your illegal thats a good one sad but true . there are many legal americans that cant even get health care and illegals get it right away no questions asked and free money .good oh usa for them.

You don't have to be illegal to get free health care.....as long as your skin isn't WHITE, you have a chance. Here's what to do....... Get pregnant (that is if you are a female) and paint yourself brown. Then go apply at your local welfare office. That should do the trick. Good luck!

Do exactly what Yak Rider said because that's what the illegals do.

I did! Just go to any hosp. and tell them you have no id and they will help you get free care. It's easy.
