Like I said, immediate emergency life saving care is an exception. But it shouldn't be too difficult to ascertain who's a lawful resident and who isn't in about 15 minutes.

Do they have a SS card?

Do they have a Green Card?

Can they produce a birth certificate?

Do they have a valid DL?

Prospective employees have to satisfy the requirements of an I-9 form, why not folks who are demanding thousands and thousands of dollars of medical care?

If they can't produce any of the above documents, then throw a call into the BP and have them rounded up as soon as they're healthy enough to transport.

Lurker, I said it before, the illegals are being prepped to use emergency services ONLY for non emergency situations.....right now. They can't be refused medical treatment once the wheels are set in motion. They do not pay for these services. If I go to the hospital by ambulence, I have to pay for the ride. I also pay for their ride.

Asking for documentation before treatment? Not in our lifetime, I think.

OK..........my husband is in hospital administration, and as you know, you have to give emergency care, but I will find out what the LAW is regarding other care. I'm not sure if it's flexible.........they may have to give care regardless of how critical it is (husband isn't home now).

I wonder if the hospitals could join together and fight? I mean, if a person has the sniffles, they come to the ER (not just illegals), and the hospitals (and US) have to swallow the costs.

I'm going to check into this.

I'm just not comfortable enlisting our medical professionals in illegal immigration law enforcement. I think that this is one profession we should leave out of all this mess and leave them to do what they need to do. The oath they take, imo, would conflict with refusing care to anyone. Just my thought.
