NOPE.. not when I am paying through the nose for my family.. as everything- they need to get legal and do things like we all do them.. that's it.


PANCHA
Well,I don't think they shouldn't be turned away if they need help and can't pay for it.Maybe they should do what they do when your in a an accident.They file a hospital lein,that way if you get any kind of money from the accident the hospital gets their cut first.They can put a lien on the illegals property.
(And you ppl say I'm stupid,please!)Thats a brilliant idea.


Norm
Their government should be billed for the costs.

i like the idea of billing the contries they came from, if the contry refuses to pay then it becomes the origin conties fault if they are turned away for a sick visit or prescript drugs.. but no one should be turned away if they are in dire need of medical attention.


Tricky Vicki
Absolutely not. If they are here illegally, then why would we want to supply them with free healthcare? We need to take care of our own!

Hell, Americans can't get it sometimes so HELL NO!!!! Why do you morons think that illegal Mexicans are entitled to anything? My husband is a true Native American. (Shoshone tribe) He can't even get it. What is wrong with this picture? I'm sick and tired of illegals/traitors saying that they deserve rights here. They deserve jail time. That's what they deserve.


hallie_kat
and waste more of the money that the US really can't afford to spare? of course not


GTcasper
NO, they are here against the law, and shouldn't get any help...
We have Americans in this county that can't even get help....

Yes, emergency healthcare.


Ann E
No-why should I pay-it is our money-we have poor here who need it.


fartman
why we can't even get it for ourselves. fu-- them damm people


ryladie99
No because,people who pay taxes every year in my state could not get help after he or she lost a job.Sorry

The answer is not a simple one because the effect would be that contagious diseases left untreated would trickle into mainstream society and perhaps causing unnecassary epidemics. It sounds unfair to those who bear the costs of medical care but we have to consider the effects before we start shooting from the hip.


Ricky
Isn't the answer to that one obvious???

Yeah PANCHA, that will work wonders.... That is why hospitals in heavily illegal areas are shutting down right? Because they are obviously going to pay it back right? I am going to have to agree with what everyone else calls you.....

Kendra F, spoken like a true liberal.... You are completely ignorant about what you are trying to talk about.

NO! NO!! NO!!! They shouldn't even BE HERE!! I WORKED and I could NOT get any coverage! I've been on unemployment for a MONTH now and I STILL haven't even been APPROVED YET!!!! I was born and raised here and I got turned away from medical help while I worked and had no benefits. Sounds stupid, doesn't it?? When it happens to YOU, THANK BUSH!! (I agree with "fartman" - we can't get free healthcare in the name of 'humanity' , so neither should they!) There's plenty of AMERICAN CITIZENS who work and slave and can't get free healthcare, so to hell with those who don't even belong here! They'll learn about freedom - IT ISN'T FREE!!!

Three questions:

1. Should they be here so the question even arises: NO

2. If someone is bleeding, or has a contagious desease should we turn them from the hospital: NO

[But I'm open to deporting them afterwards; my internal jury is still out on that one.]

3. Should they be able to cross the border pregnant, sit in a hospital parking lot until they go into labor and get free medical care [or other non-life saving care]: NO

My opinion on this is you still may not want to turn them away but definitely are within your rights to ask for proof of ability to pay and guarantees up front, JUST AS THE HOSPITALS ASK US. On this one, the post treatment deportation definitely should apply, in my opinion.


gokart121
no. we need to cut like 60% of the freebies people are standing in line for, all that does is build up more debt, eventually we'll have 25% sales tax to pay for all this crap like in some other countries.
America's already over-extended, it's time for some of our politicians to step up to the 'mic and declare The End Of The Free Ride, here...


Oobily Ghepp
Shouldn't the working poor get medical coverage????? 40 million of us are uninsured


Texas_at_its_best
Do we the legal americans who work our asses off to keep a roof over our kids head get free Medical? Hell No we dont. We barley get any help from our goverment...Welfare that is a joke....We are told to get better jobs....I dont think the illegal mexicans should get **** from our goverment but a ride back to mexico...hell if they practiced birth control they wouldnt have such a hard time making it...most have 6 or more kids....

We have enough people in the US that we can't take care of already. I think that we need to get off our asses and help them. Not the illegal imagrants that slave away in fields or walmart, but our citizens who have no health care, or our neighbors that are forced to live in tents, or orphans that live in sheltars. If an imigrant is not a citizen but they are working then they should have a Visa... In that case they are not illegal and they can pay for freaking health care. I think a wall accross the bottom of the US is a wonderfull Idea.. Only let a person in if they have a Visa/passport.. And if they are too poor to afford one..... well, you don't see Denny's just letting people come and eat for free because they are broke do you?? I'm sick and tired of paying for someone else that does not contribute to have health care when I can't afford it for myself. If they want the American lifestyle then they can take the test and become Americans. but untill then, absolutely not!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Kendra F
i think so b/c they r out here slaving, basicly, building houses for people the least we could do is give them free healthcare cuz u never know what is happening to them while they're working they might be catching a saw-dust diseasse for all we know.......HA HA HA

Since we keep calling this the land of opportunity, why don't we put our money where our mouth is. Immigrants are here struggling to have a better life. They see the value of this country.
I'm a college kid who lives from paycheck to paycheck but I'd be happy to help out a poor family looking for hope. They have it worse off than me and it would make me feel good.

yes ,for the shake of humanity
