Mexican woman gives birth on clinic LAWN after treatment denied | Mail Online

Thankfully she and the baby ok. Yes, it happened in Mexico, but many on the right have said that they would be fine with denying treatment for anyone who isn't a US citizen.

I don't care what someone's residency status is. Something this atrocious can never happen on our soil. I'm glad the mom is okay and I am glad that a US hospital would never treat any woman this cruel.

I'm not a 'conservative' but no I wouldn't want an illegal immigrant having a kid on the lawn of some clinic in the US bc she doesn't have coverage. I'd want her having a baby in her own country. There, she could do it at a hospital, on the lawn, at the mall, the local Chili's or wherever else she pleases.

The irony is that Mexico has universal healthcare coverage. It's the classic case of delay, deny, dilute healthcare that liberals tell us never happens.

Addressing the controversy later, the nurses blamed the incident on the language barrier and claimed that they did not have enough staff on hand to treat the woman due to a partial work stoppage.

She stays and continues to drain the US Taxpayers for the next 18 years while dropping several more anchors to increase the payments she gets each month. Meanwhile, the Democrats increase their voter base.

It's the Left's utopian dream.

I'm not on the right, but the only treatment illegal immigrants should receive is a bus ticket to the border and an escort to make sure they end up on the other side of it.

In this country, this would violate EMTALA.

His has zero to do with the current health care debate.

What's the big surprise here? It happened in Mexico. No wonder those poor bastards want out of that rathole of a country.

Exactly right. They have nationalized health care -- we should not want it.
