Sucks to be them, but why should our hospitals and taxpayers continuously have to foot the bill for people who have no right to be here? You have to draw the line somewhere.

"Hundreds of immigrants who are in the U.S. illegally have taken similar journeys through a little-known removal system run not by the federal government trying to enforce laws but by hospitals seeking to curb high costs. A recent report compiled by immigrant advocacy groups made a rare attempt to determine how many people are sent home, concluding that at least 600 immigrants were removed over a five-year period, though there were likely many more."
I'm waiting for La Raza and friends to start screaming how wrong it is to deport illegal aliens who can't talk.

I'm not screaming. At least the hospitals are getting smart. At least they are trying to do something about this pesky problem.
These illegals are citizens of other countries. We did not invite them into our country. Why should we pay?
It is a little different with companies that are withholding funds for insurance – like the one case in the OP's link. No; I do not think that our insurance companies should get a free ride - if they were paid. Then, I feel, the insurance companies should provide the benefits. If it is the insurance company's policy not to pay benefits to illegal immigrants; then our companies should not hire them or be forced to dig in their own pockets in case of an accident.
The American taxpayer is stressed enough today. Our government keeps telling us that we have a high standard of living. However; a high standard of living was never supposed to be working multiple jobs just to keep above water.

That's the truth of the matter. The Hospital will charge the locality for this and hence everyone else. Employer, which apparently had enough info to obtain insurance for the employees gets away with no crime. Odd's are they are violating some labor law.
