The future of the US....totally overwhelmed and not able to take care of all these illegals, let alone our citizens who deserve it first. These people are eating up all of our resources and the next time you go to the hospital for a critical ailment, you may be behind a huge line of illegals just in ther to seek a cure for their cold.

I posted about this comment on this very problem on another thread a couple of months back.

Because illegals do not have health insurance they tend to take colds and sniffles to the emergency room.

Here at our main hospital the waiting time to see an emergency room doctor is anywhere from four to 6 hours.

Recently I was out at the emergency room and noticed a veteran in really bad shape with a leg missing sitting in a wheel chair.

I went over and sat down by him and we talked about Vietnam and his service to our country.

All of a sudden blood started gushing from his nose.

I stuck my hanker chief under his nose and then went to look for a nurse.

Not finding one I pushed the mans wheel chair to the triage station and asked they help him.

There reply was that he would have to wait while they tended to the other patients in the Que.

That was about the time I exploded and ordered the nurse to attend to this man now.

By the time he was wheeled into triage he had bled a great deal of blood all over him and the wheel chair.

The supervisor came out of admitting and asked me if their was a problem and I came down on her like a ton of bricks.

There is no defense for a hospital emergency room to let a veteran who is obviously in lots of distress sit for hours waiting to get admitted.

When I checked the 14 patient Que ahead of the veteran there was only one real patient that could be considered an emergency and that was a woman from Mexico.

All the others were colds, flu and aspirine patients clogging up the ER.

Welcome to Prince William, Virginia...before the county government started to enforce the law.

other impediments to service and care include lack of financial resources, no transportation or child care, and a general lack of understanding of the nation’s health care system,

That line right there says it all, doesn’t it?

If Hillary becomes POTUS, look out for “universal health coverage” to include illegals. We would have the same lines, but higher taxes.
