The Best Healthcare System is Being Maligned and Ripped Off

Of all the questions over ObamaCare that have been brought up, it seems that we all have missed one big point. The only reform that is really needed in America’s health care system is to stop the fleecing of America by illegal trespassers. If America did not have to spend the billions of dollars on the world’s bloodsuckers, legal residents would have better and more access to our health care system.

Oh, first let me clear up some phony statistics. The UN has put America towards the top of infant mortality. The one thing they failed to point out is how the US and the rest of the world counts infant mortality. In America every birth that results in mortality is counted, including, I believe, stillbirths. Most other countries only count live births. Some countries, the only ones they count are those who have died several months after being born.

Considering that most infant mortality is at birth, or shortly there after, other countries do not report most infant deaths. Seems a bit unfair, no? But then again what is new about that? The UN is full of our enemies. So are so many in the Obama administration and congress under the leadership of Pelosi and Reid. But that, is a topic for an other article. For now, my point is that our healthcare system is the finest and most advanced in the world. If it wasn’t why are so many coming here to be cured, including some of our worst enemies? They do not go to Cuba, Russia, or even Canada, they come here.

California hospitals experienced 85 closures in the last decade. An additional 55 facilities have shut down ERs, all due to having to provide free care to illegals. The state ranks last in the country in access to emergency care and last in ERs per capita, making it woefully unprepared to respond to a major earthquake or terror attack.

Some 80% of the births at Houston's Ben Taub General Hospital and Lyndon B. Johnson General Hospital are to illegal immigrants. In Fort Worth, it's about 70%.

The South Texas Health System eats $140 million a year in free care, and 60%-70% of those unpaid costs are in the ER.

Some 40% of the babies born at McAllen Medical last year were to illegals. That's nearly 2,400 babies who were given instant citizenship. Their mothers instantly qualified for U.S. welfare. Many of them, McAllen Medical CEO Joe Riley says, were "mothers about to give birth that walk up to the hospital still wet from swimming across the river and in actual labor."

One hospital near Miami was forced to eat $1.5 million in unreimbursed care for an illegal alien from Guatemala. After three years of treatment, Martin Memorial Medical Center paid $30,000 to charter a jet to take Luis Jimenez to a medical facility in his home country. His family in turn sued the hospital.

When you consider that they wire an average of $300 a month in remittances back to Mexico, that money could go a long way toward purchasing medical insurance.

These all show the mass fraud perpetrated on American citizens. A fraud that will only be increased with ObamaCare.

Just like with abortion, free medical care to illegals is not specifically written in any of the forms ObamaCare now under consideration by congress, but it is not excluded. As long as the illegal issue is not directly addressed, we will be forced to pay for these people while our own citizens are left wanting and suffering.

Additionally, it is just not the sniffles that these people are treated for. A town of 3,500 people in Texas had to pay almost $200,000.00 for a complicated delivery by an illegal.

A woman had ten children delivered at the expense California’s citizens. One child with major complications has been in and out of the hospital for the past ten years, all paid for by taxes. These costs are astronomical. Her and her whole extended family has been on welfare for over 15 years, all getting free medical care.
