My sister in GA says the same is happening there. They are not allowed to second guess a patients ID no matter how questionable it is.

It's quite sad how the middle class is bleeding for health care and becoming bankrupt while we allow illegal immigrants to come in here and pump out children at tax payer expense, or Shaniqa Williams in the ghetto who has no job but continues to have children so she gets food stamps and medicaid, the people in prison who get health care while Joe Blue Collar worker can't afford it, etc etc.

It's really ridiculous.

The ghetto welfare queen, Juan illegal alien, or Jamal Robbed-a-Liquor-Store-now-in-prison, get better health care than John Smith, metal fabricator.

When I was sent to the trauma unit during a car accident, the guy across from me was an African-American gentlemen (gunshot wound - go figure), handcuffed to his bed with 24/7 police guard. I wonder how much he spent on a copay and out-of-pocket medical expenses like I did?

Well, all you have to do is watch a 5 minute film on Somalia to know violence in the 3rd World is normal. Coming here as a refuge can be a free ticket to the new old school.

Hell: till recently; Ireland was bad as well............the IRA comes to mind------------ then prosperity killed that terrorist group.

The stereotype of that place no so many years ago was the 'Fighting Irish'.

Today: the stereotype of the Emerald Isle is the harp.

Can someone say a stunning turnabout in culture?

While you were certainly get no arguement from me that illegal immigrants have no place in the US, much less getting healthcare they cannot pay for, I think I should point out that Jamal Robbed-a-Liquer-Store could very easily be Cody Whiteboy Running A Meth Lab. I can trace part of my family tree to the Mayflower, yet my lily white bro is a career criminal
Basically, race is no predicator to crime, it is poverty/drug addiction. As to illegal immigration....they majority may be hispanic, but certainly not all are.

FYI welfare is not nearly the handout it used to be so your perception of welfare queens is extremely outdated.

Thumbs up :(

Gentlemen,
I am very sorry to hear all the senseless things you are saying. As you can see in the words you are writing, this country based in consuming and material things has made this happen.
the country has to help people so people vote for the government while they drain the pockets of everybody that can have any kind of money to help people for money. brothers what is happening? is helping a human being so bad? man needs to stop this money idea. money only makes it easy to sell your things. who ever said anything anybody owns is theirs? everything is from the universe of matter and energy and you are just part of it made of matter and energy. When you die you return yourself to the universe and everything you "own" returns to the same place. human beings cant create things, they can only take other things and combine them in any way their logic permits them.
man i am 18 I came from Spain 3 years ago I am an ILLEGAL immigrant and my family pays for any medical expense we have to pay and we have no insurance. My dad is a honest man a little crazy he said that I wasn't going to grow well in a country that takes care of everybody and there is no possibility or aspirations of having a business. yes I used to look up to the "American culture" but it resulted that this country is governed by stupid people and money. I dont know what is worst if the people of this country are so simple minded or that need money to survive. Freedom? no. DEATH...

You need to report to the nearest Spanish consolate (sp) for repatriation back home------------otherwise, you will be picked up and thrown into jail.
