Sick Illegals Need Only Apply

On May 9, 2005 the Bush Administration issued an executive order to effectively validate entitlements to illegals and by exstension increase the attraction of gratuitous U S emergency room treatment-Vicente Fox, president of Mexico, must be smiling. One billion dollars of perscription drug benefit money was diverted to reimburse states who have medical bills attributed to illegal immigrants. Senator Jon Kyl-R,AZ welcomed the move. But if he thought about it, the implications of an expansion of srevice will only exacerbate the migration. The new program carries no mandate for INS enforcement action. In fact it specifically states," In no circumstance are hospitals required to ask people about their citizenship status." This according to Dr Mark McClellan who is administrator of Medicare and Medicaid. Truly this is free.

What about the significant amount of Americans being kept poor because of medical insurance? In 2004, health care expenditures of consumers amounted to 17% of income versus 17.9% for food and clothing. And George"What Me Worry" Bush is giving health care away to non-citizens. One wonders why there are more U S guards on the Iraq/Syria border than the US/Mexico border? Because Bush and his special interests want the cheap workers . How many Mexicans come to the U S just for the health care? When will malpractice suits on their behalf be a new scam for our rodent-class attorneys?
