See what this link shows http://http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=43275 (broken link)
That means that the Government should cut it to them. Its as simple as that, if its there and its free they're obviously going to take advantage of it. So stop blaming it on the illegals, blame the Government.

You're kidding right? You want us to blame the government for the fact that we don't allow ANYONE to just lay in the street bleeding to death and only try to settle the bill after treatment is given?

This is the ILLEGALS' fault. Nobody dragged them kicking and screaming across the border, but we need to send them all home. No amnesty, no mercy, no exceptions. GET OUT, NOT WELCOME.

The Healtcare system is flawed. No doubt about it, we shouldn't deny people who can't pay their bill. Especially Americans. It is NOT the illegals fault, it is the Governments fault for allowing them to take advantage of our flawed system.

Like I said, even our government isn't cold enough to tell them to go eff themselves if they are in need of emergency healthcare. And sure, our system is flawed...but precisely what repair could be made to it that would eliminate the burden of illegals on the system? I'm anxious to hear how you would save us all from our flawed healthcare system. Back when I was in college, I knew how to fix the country too. If only they had listened!

This is when economics and emotion collide to create a problem. I don't know how to fix the system. Neither do you, and probably not most Americans.

Lord, can you understand what I am saying? ok will spell it out

citizen, gets ER treatment they send large bill, cannot afford to pay said bill so hospital comes at you with guns blaziing, sues you and garnishes your wages and you lose your home

Illegal gets treatment cant pay bill gave false information as in fake or stolen SS and wrong address, no one to go after, pass loss to citizens that need treatment.

got it?
