President Obama: we'll provide heath care to illegal aliens
at ER's but not health insurance
|
President Obama said today (8-20-09) that the "basic standard of decency" requires that illegal aliens be provided emergency room care even if they don't have insurance if they need treatment. He had previously said that illegals would not be eligible for medical care under his plan. Hospitals that choose to operate ER's now are required by law to provide emergency care to anyone who needs it. Because of this many hospitals lose money on ER's and hundreds of them have closed in states such as California , Arizona, and Texas.
So Obamacare will not correct the problem of hospitals having to provide essentially free health care to anyone, including illegal aliens, who present themselves to care.
The Department of Homeland Security estimates there were approximately 11.6 million illegal aliens in the United States in 2006 and that as many as 370,000 are in North Carolina.
Thus, if these numbers are correct illegal aliens make up 25% of the uninsured people the Obama Plan proposes to cover, but not apparently by using insurance. They would just get "free" care at ER's which would actually mean that the cost of this health care would be borne by those who paid for insurance or their own health care.

Commentary
Why would everyone feel a need to buy health insurance when you can get care by simply walking (or being rolled) into an Emergency Room? So we're going to still be left with 12 million people without health insurance but they are going to be provided care anyway. Did we get that right? If so, what "standard of decency" is being afforded the taxpayer and the people who carry insurance? Pretty indecent if you ask us.

solution, which are code words for Amnesty, our Immigration Laws are not broken, they just have not been enforced, what is broken is our Political system when we elect Corrupt/Pandering/Lawless politicians that puts Party, Lobbyist, & Self interest ahead of the Constitution of USA and the Rule of Law!
Our government fails the most basic and primary task & duty of government, to protect this Nation and its Citizens from invasion and enforce its laws.
They refuse to abide by our Constitution, refuse to enforce our Immigration Laws and refuse to honor their Oath of Office!
Our Government, past & present, Republican & Democrat, have allowed the invasion of 20 to 30 million criminals and uneducated peons which is the largest invasion of any Nation, at any time, by any means & in direct violation of Article IV, Section IV of our Constitution.
This refusal to abide by our Constitution or enforce our Immigration Laws should be classified as Treason of the most foul kind, & as grounds for impeachment & trials for Treason!
Not only have they allowed the invasion, they force American tax payers to pay Billions on Billions of dollars to provide Welfare, Prison cells, Educate the invaders numerous children, and free medical care, at the same time the invading horde break numerous laws and massive document fraud, & are destroying our schools, hospitals, communities, culture and standard of living while Robbing, Raping, Killing & Assaulting American Citizens at an rate the terrorist can only dream about.
Recent statements in Mexico from both President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary something needs to be done. "Our inability to prevent weapons from being illegally smuggled across the border to arm these criminals causes the deaths of police officers, soldiers, and civilians," Hillary whined.
But no mention, whines, concern or care that their refusal to stop the Massive Invasion of Illegal Aliens pouring across our borders or enforce our immigration laws that causes an estimated 25 Americans deaths per day and 10,s of thousands victims of Assault, Robberies, Rapes, Identify thief, and other assorted crimes committed by the invading horde of Illegal Aliens from Mexico on American citizens each year!
It is a telling indictment & shows their Empathy & Compassion of our Politicians & their priorities are not for the American citizens when they express more concern over Mexicans deaths mostly connected to the Drug trade, than the murders, havoc & crimes of Illegal Aliens against American Citizens!
The Democrats view the invading horde of Criminals and Uneducated third world rejects as Undocumented Welfare Democrats & the Republicans as Undocumented Slave labor for their Pay Masters in the Chamber of Commerce & Businesses!
Most of our Politicians in Wash. DC are wading knee deep in innocent American blood and suffering because they put Self Interest ahead of the interest of American Citizens & the future of this Nation!
The Citizens of this Nation have not sacrificed with blood, sweat & tears for over 200 years & obeyed the Laws of the land, paid the taxes, and fought the wars & built this Nation to see Corrupt politicians turn this Nation into the United States of Mexico without a shot being fired, to serve their demented, nefarious goals and lust for power!

Seems it would be cheaper to get them a one way ticket home. Most of what people go to the ER for are not true emergencies. That is part of what is driving up health care cost.
