****Let's look at the hypocrisy of a government that requires every citizen to prove they are insured..
****
****but not everyone must prove they are a citizen.
****
****And now,
****
****For those who refuse to prove they are citizens, or are unable to prove they are citizens, they will receive free insurance paid for by those who are forced to buy insurance because they ARE citizens.
****
****I find that not only ironic but rather disturbing..don't you?
****
****
****Obamacare must go.
****
****
***We can't run all the non-citizens out. It's impossible.
***
***They are already receiving free health care if they are unable to pay. That is subsidized by everyone who now pays for health insurance.
***
***Don't you know that?*
**
**yes
**
**at least do
**
**and what should be done?
**
**treat them when they end up in a hospital waiting room - once treated as they are illegals & we know that they are illegal - provide transport & pocket money for a trip back to where they are legal

*“911 what is your emergency?”
*
*“Some guy just fell off his bike! I think he’s having a heart attack!”
*
*“Is he a citizen?”
*“What??”
*
*“Sir, is he a citizen?”
*
*“I don’t know if he’s a citizen! He’s dying! Send an ambulance!”
*
*“Sir, we cannot dispatch resources for non-citizens. Please ask him if he has his proof of citizenship.”
*
*“He can’t even breathe, let alone talk! He’s turning blue!”
*
*“Sir, find out if he has his citizenship papers. If not, he’ll need to go home and get them before we can send help.”
*
*“He looks like a citizen! He’s clean cut and he has a nice bike. Send an ambulance!”
*
*“Sir, we cannot determine citizenship by how someone looks. That would be profiling. We need to know if he has his papers.”
*
*“Are you insane?”
*
*“No sir, I am not. These are the rules. You should know that. Once he recovers he'll be deported.”
*
*“But but but he’s gonna die! He’s dying right now! Some guy is doing CPR but he’s totally blue. Please send help!”
*
*“Is he a citizen?”

How ridiculous are you! he specified that the person would be treated and THEN it would be determined if the person was perhaps an illegal and THEN appropriate measures would be taken to take them back to the border AFTER they've been treated. You're making it sound like they are determining whether they are illegal thereby denying them getting the necessary medical help until a determination is made.
You ever heard of the Hippocratic oath?
Doctors and hospitals are obliged to treat whoever is in need of care regardless of who they are or where they came from.

It's a fact that thousands of illegals get treated everyday in our hospitals at our expense. It's time to start cutting down on the expense. And how do you do that? just like PYCB indicated..you treat them, then if they are determined to be an illegal, you send them packing with a warning not to come back unless they pursue the proper channels.
