If you have spent any time at all working in health care you would realize that what he/she posted is the truth. No one is making any of that up.

Maybe people would prefer to learn French. Or Japanese. Or bantu. There is nothing wrong with being multilingual. But you should be free to choose the language you wish to speak.

Of course. George Bush told me last week "I really just went into Iraq for the oil, lol."

There is nothing remotely amusing about an illegal mestizo sow who comes here and runs up $2.2 million in medical bills to cover 3 liver transplants, follow up care, the cost of immunosuppressive drugs, etc. It simply is not funny. Save your guffaws for when one of your parents is in unstable condition following a heart attack and the nearest available ER that can accept a patient is 45 minutes away because the local ERs have been forced to close their doors due to financial losses from illegals.

The incident itself sounded like BS. She made it sound like woman was sitting there in the hospital bed rolling around in money and wic checks laughing maniacally like some cartoonish supervillain.
"I only come here for the money! THE MONEY! THE MONEYYYYY! MWAHHAHAHA!"

And then the story of being a homeless 17 year old living in a shelter, denying ANY help, yet working two jobs, and managing to graduate (assumingly from college?), while watching "countless africans" drive up to government buildings and leaving with "their section 8, food stamps, and free healthcare" and take off in "thier expeditions".

Whatever. I call BS.

If you really were homeless at age 17(for whatever reason), my apologies. Thats the part I'd believe the most.
But the description of the Mexican woman was too cartoonish to believe.

You called BS on bombay's observation that illegal aliens have no qualms about bilking the US healthcare system.

Quote:
bombay: My mom was one time in a clinic in Southern California waiting on my sick grandmother. A mexican lady sitting next to her was laughing all the while and talking poorly about the USA..my mom asked her why she is here then..and the lady replied " Oh, because I need the healthcare and food..but I just come up here when I need that.".

Cartoonish?
