American seniors are shoved out of nursing homes all the time because their insurance will no longer cover their care and yet an illegal gets to stay and run up medical bills because he doesn't want to go back to his homeland?
People who work in health care will tell you how everything is. I worked for a company that provided dialysis services and had a certain individual in Rhode Island who was not in the country legally (no social security number, required an interpreter) but was getting "free" medical care provided by taxpayers. We ran into a problem and that person was risking losing the free ride. Why? Well his treatment had exceeded a million dollars over a 6 month period.
I am back to working in the health care industry (since February)... And not much has changed. As a matter of fact it looks like it has gotten worse ever since. .

Let's not forget the illegal alien lawsuit against Grady Memorial in Atlanta. They had the nerve to sue, because the dialysis clinic was forced to close, due to being overwhelmed by THEM.
We are more then happy to reap the benefits of all their cheap labor, but then cry when we have to pay the social costs that go along with it. My aren't we a bunch of hypocrites?
Uh....we? YOU, maybe.

Are you hiring illegals on the cheap and passing their social costs onto other taxpayers? In that case, then yes YOU are happy to reap the benefits of cheap labor.
This. Illegals are not welcome on my property, I refuse to hire them or to allow anyone I do business with to use them on projects on my property. Period.

Do you believe that this man should be deported to Mexico for further treatment, or should be allowed to stay in the U.S. since the U.S. didn't prevent him from entering the country in the first place?
give him treatment in the USA and bill mexico for the medical costs. then ship him back to mexico.
Sorry, send him back to Mexico. Send half the bill to the employer as a fine for hiring him, and send the other half of the bill to the Mexican Government.

Well, some may hate illegal immigrants......I don't, but.....
I just resent the fact that many of them bleed our system for all it's worth, and Mexico encourages them to come here so Mexico won't have to deal with them.
Our emergency rooms and hospitals are stuck with having to treat illegals, and we citizens end up footing the bill.
Our prisons have a large illegal population, so we're stuck with that bill, too. Illegals' cost to us citizen taxpayers as a whole is greater than the supposed benefits they bring in the form of "cheap" labor.
Like this case, turns out that they aren't such "cheap" labor after all. The medical center is still stuck with the costs of his treatment. As the article also stated, this happens over and over and over again.
Enough is enough.
I don't hate this man. i feel sorry for his plight but I don't owe him anything while I am struggling so hard to keep my own head above water and make ends meet....(self employed, 70 hour workweeks, no down time, almost 70 years old) When I needed abdominal surgery, no one offered me a free ride and we didn't stick the hospital with the bill...I feel the employer should be held responsible in some way. That won't happen. The man is in a bad fix and I don't know the answer.
If a US Citizen is hospitalized in a foreign country does America pay hospital
bill if that person can't pay the bill
No way unless that person works for US Govt

It's an entitlement attitude that is beyond all words. The illegals truly feel like coming here illegally should have us paying for everything they want and even need. They wouldn't dream of making these demands of their own government and institutions, but why should they, it's very very easy to just show up here and demand what they feel they are entitled to.
