Liberals Scream For Socialized Healthcare. Healthcare Wouldn't Be So Screwed Up If Frivolous Lawsuits And Free Healthcare To Illegals Was Abolished.

 I think you mean "illegal aliens", because surely none of these lawbreaking scabs are coming to the US to settle down. They should be treated for emergency health care only, then swiftly arrested and deported along with any of their illegal kin in the waiting room. Let the nurses in their home countries change their bandages or remove their casts later.

 No free nothing!!! They shouldn't be here to begin with! If they know that and also being here illegally will not be tolerated anywhere, anyhow, then they may not be in such a hurry to come here!

 No, they should NOT receive free healthcare. Health care for illegal aliens in Arizona is costing the state’s taxpayers about $4 million per year. I don't know what it is costing other tax payers in other states, but any amount is too much.

 We Americans don't have free health care we have deductibles and or co-pays why should they have it free. If they want to be here in our country they should pay just like us. They are basically the reason why our health care is so high.

 Illegal immigrants should not receive free healthcare. And yes, there is free healthcare because that is what some government agencies offer to those in need who qualify. Also, the free healthcare clinics that have been spoken of where made for the American citizens who can't afford the bills but need healthcare badly. Not for Illegals to come and get it w/out giving personal info and no bills.

And when they all met to protest they should have been arrested and deported. One said that she got badly hurt trying to sneak across the border and my response to that is:
"If you weren't trying to break the law by sneaking into our country then you wouldn't have gotten hurt when doing so."

And I agree with everything that Maldridge said.

 NO public benefits should be forthcoming to illegal aliens. Emergency medical care, I will support, only insofar that it is followed with immediate deportation upon stabilizing the medical condition. Then deduct the cost of medical treatment and deportation from the foreign aid we are giving their home countries.

Cut off public assistance, education, jobs and housing... And they will deport themselves. Keep giving them handouts and opportunities, and they will keep coming.

 It is unfair to provide free health care to illegals, all the while denying health care and insurance to citizens. We are letting the illegals take over just about everything. Next thing you know, they'll be running for office! And here I am, an American citizen paying out the wazoo for health insurace and they will not pay for my claims!

 ONCE AND THATS IT.I'm with bickle on this one.I believe that anyone that is here illegally should not be allowed to receive any kind of allotment that is funded by our state government as well as our federal government.I think our immigration cops and officials need o be held more accountable for what a rotten job they have done and are still doing by letting this immigration problem get so resigned.

 Only give them immediate care for emergencies and send them back to their own country. Peace

 I think they should have to pay just like the rest of us. Actually, they should pay more...we pay taxes...they don't.

 Only health care until they can be returned to their own country.

 Illegal immigrants don't get free health care. There are free clinics out there that are available to anyone who doesn't make that much money, and of course, those should remain open. They are a valuable resource, and often times low income persons are referred to these clinics by doctors in regular clinics.

Also, hospitals cannot refuse anyone who comes for service--they are required to help by law even if it means that they don't get paid for the service--again, by anyone, not just illegal immigrants.

I also don't think frivolous lawsuits are causing that much of a problem to the medical community--in that regard, frivolous lawsuits are usually dismissed before they can get very far.

 We are a humane country. We cannot let someone suffer or die even though we would like to stop the outflow of money for healthcare to illegals who do not pay into the system.

 I don't think that will be fair. Its a free country, and I don't think someone should die just because they were denied treatment........

 I am a citizen of the United States.Born here on this land. I have been rejected health insurance b/c I am overweight.I can't have any type of testing done without the cash up front.So where does that leave me? I would like to know where can I go to sign up to be an illegal alien.My husband and I both work and live pay day to payday...I don't ask for handouts,but because I am high risk ,decent insurance would cost me more a month than my mortgage.Who can afford that? There's something wrong with this picture.I am totally against illegal aliens having something for free ,that I can't even pay for.

 I'm not against someone who needs help being refused treatment but if they are illegal they should have to pay for it also there are so many people that aren't illegal that can't get treatment but no one seems to worry about that. I believe everyone should be able to have free health care regardless of where they live or their financial status.

 Health-care is not free to Illegal Aliens. They get treated in the emergency room then they send them their bill. If they pay them or not is up to them, but the service wasn't intended to be free. There are organizations that help them free of charge without using your tax money. And most of the Illegal Aliens go to clinics because is cheaper.

 We are all human and should be allowed healthcare even if you are an illegal immigrant. We should not have the right to decide who lives or dies, that is not our decision to make.

 All men and women are created equal.

It doesn't matter if they are illegal. They should not be discriminated and treated differently from other patients.

Yes, they broke the law, but you have to have softer hearts for them. What if their homes have burned down, or whatever? They want to start a new life. And they can't think of the right way to do things because they are depressed and grieving.

I read this article about an illegal immigrant from Mexico who later became a top brain surgeon.

 There is no such thing as free health care. There are clinics such as Dragon72 spoke of.
Couldn't put it in better terms than that!
