Trend: Hospitals deporting uninsured immigrants

Maybe we can get MexCare to go into the prisons and ship back the illegal alien criminals that comprise so much of the prison population. Could be very cost effective.

it's amazing we call ourselfs a country of law!

The NYTimes spin meister ("all the news that fits" the NYT political agenda) did not objectively report the facts: the correct term is illegal alien, not "uninsured immigrant." Finally, someone is taking action against the continuing hemorrhaging of billions of dollars to subsidize law breakers who should burden their own countries' socialist systems in the first instance rather than steal from the US taxpayers who are forced to support the welfare hospitals in this country.

I think it's a great policy. People don't seem to be aware of all the hospital closings across the US because they are stuck with patients without insurance and Federal Law states they have to care for them. What happens when we are down to a handful of hospitals before our government wakes up and realizes this is a major problem. We don't have the money to care for American citizens who are often kicked out and we should always care for our own first, Always...

Unbelievably common sense, no doubt some hateamerolewyeh whose parents were saved from the flames by mine will cripple the policy. Only in America.

Illegal Immigration & Health Care are two very difficult topics to address; especially when our government does nothing to deport the 20 million plus illegal aliens already here. I’m sure a Dr. and a nurse could care less of who they do and do not treat. But in the end, it’s about money and what is right! And if the hospitals can’t pay their bills; we as Americans suffer. And let’s focus on that word “illegal” while you’re thinking about everything associated with the current medical crisis? Hospitals are going broke and not getting paid and at the same time Americans are paying through the nose for Health Care and suffering the consequences of an exploding illegal immigration problem. So it’s a triple blow to our economy. Our health care system is over-taxed and understaffed and our government does nothing to remove the illegals already here “ILLEGALLY”. And to make matters worse, they do nothing to stem the flow of illegals who continue to flood into this nation. As human beings we naturally care about everyone around us. But lets restate the obvious, illegal’s are NOT Americans. Communities that don’t speak English are not American. Businesses that knowingly break the law and allow illegal’s to have jobs are Un-American! Living the American dream is hard enough for Americans as it is. We shouldn’t grant Health Care services to people who sneak across the border and we shouldn’t grant US citizenship to illegal aliens who have babies here. And we should definitely applaud hospitals that deport illegal aliens back to their country of orgin (BEFORE) providing medical care!

The biggest users of the American welfare system are american citizens. That's right I said it. I work wih American citizens who do NOTHING but eat sleep and shit and recieve free health care and a living wage as well (the so called disabled). This article is misinformed and racist to boot all illegals are not Mexican. Some are actually European or Canadian. The US has a big problem whith it's health care system and scapegoating immigrants is not a solution.
