News, Supervisor: Cut Illegal Immigrant Healthcare. (medical, illegal immigrants, Americans, job)

[John1960]

A Sacramento County supervisor wants to cut non-emergency medical care to undocumented immigrants as a way to fund additional sheriff's deputies.

Supervisor Roberta MacGlashan said she believes the county could save millions of dollars a year if it slashed medical funding to illegal immigrants.

In fiscal year 2007-2008, the county's Medically Indigent Services Program is projected to treat between 2,500 and 4,000 undocumented immigrants at a cost of $1.4 million to $2.3 million.

In a related story, Dr. Gene Rogers Medical Director for Sacramento Counties Indigent Care Services, was recently fired from his job for objecting to the county providing non-emergency medical care to illegal aliens in violation of federal law. It has become so expensive there that providing the care to illegals has now resulted in the poorest of the poor Americans in the county being denied services.
