Answer 1

For real for real! Why don't all of the antis take a holiday in another country and renounce their citizenship and then come back so they can get all the health care and welfare and no have to pay taxes?

Hay guys that looks like a good deal! Buen viaje! :)

Edit Lex when I become a doctor I promise to not treat you for free ok?

Answer 2

Illegals use the emergency room as a regular doctor visit. They also go to the hospital when they are ready to give birth. The illegal will not be turned down for services. When asked for social security numbers or health insurance numbers, they have none. They give address and names that are phoney. Hence, they pay nothing, and the hospital writes it off. My local hospital has closed because of this. They could no longer afford to 'give' these services to the illegals.

I will check to see if I can come up with a link for you on this hospital's closing and reason for it.

Answer 3

Here is the basic facts:
Medicaid to illegal aliens who are mothers of children born on US soil and those children.
No public hospital can refuse emergency care. Illegal aliens go to ER's like clinics. They give false addresses and there is no opportunity to bill them in the future. Furthermore, the US government will not reimburse those hospitals for care rendered to an illegal alien.
If a pregnant illegal alien presents to a hospital in labor, they will deliver the baby. If that baby is premature, that baby could be in a NICU for weeks at an exorbitant cost.
The government did set up a program in 2005 that allowed health care providers to claim reimbursement for care given to illegal aliens, but the limit on that was $1 billion and is being given out in limited amounts.

Answer 4

No hospital in America will turn away someone at the emergency room. Visit any big city hospital emergency room and make an educated guess on the immigration status of the people clogging the aisles with sniffling babies and everyday cuts and bruises.

Answer 5

How do they get free health services? Obviously, you haven't had to go to an emergency room in the past few years. Emergency rooms are crowded with illegal aliens who can not be turned away due to laws enacted to ensure that the indigent aren't "shopped" to other hospitals. Hospitals are required to treat ANYONE who comes through those emergency room doors. Collecting from them is another story. The government (our tax money) pays for some of the losses incurred and others go uncollected at a cost of $1.45 billion each year.

Currently, in areas that have any illegal alien population, these emergency rooms have become pediatrician's office, ob-gyn offices, general practictioner's offices, etc. Illegals come in to be treated for colds, ear aches, pulled muscles, pregnancy or whatever need they might have. They give phoney addresses, names and numbers. They use their phoney ssn. It's a travesty and a crime. http://www.cnn.com/2005/POLITICS/05/10/heallth.illegal.ap/

Just read the back of any Medi-Cal application where it tells how there's a special Medi-Cal for "undocumented". I'll bet that undocumented status wouldn't apply to undocumented whites but is a free ride for illegal Mexicans. Unless you are in California you can't disupute it just to be argumentative. I live here. You people are going to have to start being more cordial about your majority status here too by the way. Start using your own names.

Answer 7

If they go to an ER or a health department, all they have to do is say they don't have enough money to pay. They get the service w/o paying. That makes it FREE

Answer 8

They do at Parkland Hospital, Dallas Texas as shown in this link; Snopes took the info from a news story about it in the Dallas Morning News.

And where do YOU come up with the idea that they don't?

Answer 9

So, you have the nerves to say that female illegal immigrants go back to their countries every time they are about to give birth to all those children they on purpose have as anchor babies. As you know they breed like rabbits, and my last delivery cost US$18,000.00. THINK about who paid for those deliveries and then ask such a silly question again.........

Answer 10

I live in southern AZ where our hospitals are in crisis due to the "free" medical we MUST give illegals. I see it almost daily and it is awful when we have Americans struggling to pay medical bills or going without the needed care because they cannot afford it while we are forced to provide "free" medical care to illegals. Makes me sick!

Answer 11

Why are you asking us? You strike me as the type who would take advantage of the free health care and would know all of the different ways of getting it.
