Emergency care yes, other care if they can pay up from. It's hard to deny routine care, but being many USA citizens can not quality because of income, then a illegal that have not reportable income gets the care, does seem unfair

That is a really tough question. I would hate to see a child die because they were denied health care. Or, really anyone. On the other hand they shouldn't come here expecting to get free services. I guess I would vote for giving them health care and deportation immediately after if they couldn't prove citizenship. Just have security hold them there to be picked up. Let them know up front what is going to happen and give them a choice.

If it is a emargincy thin yes, but other thin that no. Unless they can pay for it thine there is no proplame. But I know of this first hand. The child has a ear infasion wich is a big thing over time it can do damge but they go to the ER where they have to treat what ever is wrong and the Illegal Imagrents do not have pay leaving it for the people that pay there taxes have to pick it up.

Yes. If a person is unable to prove they are in this country legally, it is much cheaper to escort them back to a medical facility in their home country. If they are more than 400 miles away, it is still cheaper to pay their air fare and that of the escort than it would be to treat them in the US.. If they can't afford the care in the home country, then too bad. The US is not a charity. Besides, there is usually a gaggle of friends, family members or drug cartels that can pay the bill. If the deported person can eventually prove they had at least a valid US visa at the time, the US should pay their medical bill.

In emergancies it should not matter who somebody is they should get the treatment they need. If it isn't immediately necessary or traveling would be easily possible then they should be denied healthcare unless they can pay for it out of pocket.

Yes. THat way the illegals would stay out of the country. They can get it if they pay.

If you are referring to medicaid etc then YES. They do not pay into the system why should they get the benefits? Hence the term "illegal" They seem to have more rights then we do lately.

No. No one should be denied health care if it is a life-threatening situation. Most people can handle colds and the like on their own, but -- if it comes between dying and living and what it costs -- there is no value you can put on a human life.

Why should they be denied health care? Race shouldn't matter when it comes to saving a life.
