How do you figure? Illegal immigrants ought to be treated at the ER, and once stabilized, deported. Then guard the border properly so they don’t get back in.

You need to reread my ER post. I wasn't exaggerating about the runny noses and stubbed toes. The illegals treated before me weren't there because of an emergency, they were there for the "free" care. A paying US citizen was on the floor in agony while illegals were getting free bandaids and Pepto Bismol.

After I finally got the narcotics to treat my pain so I could talk again, I asked the ER doctor to give me a percentage of patients he sees who are real emergencies. He said 5 to 10%. The rest are there for free care that primary care physicians won't provide. How will socialistic Romneycare fix that?
