“For the most part, if they are illegal immigrants, because of fear of immigration (authorities) they tend not to seek medical health,” she said. “They use home remedies (first).”

“Part of it is our culture,” said the 35-year-old, who has lived in the United States for 14 years. “We are not used to going to the doctor unless we feel very sick.

Funny, that's part of our culture, too!..........

Well ok then. If it's part of your culture then it can't be sheer stupidity.

“Once they go and find a place they like, they generally continue to go,” she said.

Once they find out it's free to them, of course. Then they become addicted to our paying their health care costs.

...said Karen Guinn, primary care program manager with the Chattanooga-Hamilton County Health Department.

“What we know is that access to care for Hispanics is often minimal because all of our Hispanic clients are uninsured, so it can be difficult to pay for care,” she said.

Like I said. Who pays the bills?

The dirty little secret about socialized medicine that rarely gets mentioned is that a considerable percentage of Canadians don't have a regular health care provider either.

They don't have enough doctors to go around. The need for more specialists is particularly bad, but there aren't enough generalists either. Most family practice doctors there simply can't take on more patients. That means that a lot of Canadians just go to the clinic (similar to our urgent care) whenever they need to see a doctor.

Because they don't see the same doctor regularly, it is difficult for them to get good treatment for a lot of chronic illnesses, especially when the dosage of medication needs to be monitored to make sure it is effective but to limit side effects.

Their health care is even "free", but it's hard to get good health care when there aren't enough doctors.

What a disaster—sarc. My Dad, My in-laws never had a smidgen of healthcare insurance their entire lives. I recall my father visiting a doctor once in 40 years to have a basal-cell carcinoma removed from his check—he was in and out after a local block and a couple of sutures which he removed himself 10 days later. His next visit was when he was 78 and suffered a urinary obstruction.

This so-called healthcare crisis has been manufactured by politicians hungry to take over the nations #2 industry in order to capture more power and feed the lawyers.

27% of Hispanics in US lack regular health care provider

What this also means is that 73% of Hispanics DO have a health-care provider, and you're paying for it.

“The Hispanic population in the United States has more than doubled in the past 15 years”

And what is it that happened exactly fifteen years ago? NAFTA did exactly what opponents said it would do. But its advocates said it would DECREASE illegal immigration. And those same folks are advocating more “free trade” agreements, using the same old lies.

Visit an ER anywhere, and see that they have been perverted into Walk-In Free Clinics.

Sorry....

Don’t worry. If they get really sick they can go to the emergency room and skip out on the bill.

You know these sad reports just gut me.

Even though Florida is my adopted home (for over 30 years)...ALL, absolutely ALL of my family has Chattanooga roots.

Born there,churched there, schooled there, married there...

So hard to believe the invasion has reached Chattanooga....

...and all the little burgs & hometowns of our Freepers everywhere...

When you work under the table irregularly, can’t hold a legal job, and can’t speak the language you will have these problems. But, they are no one’s fault but your own.

“As Hispanics, we don’t go to the doctor regularly because most of the time we come here to work and we say we don’t have time for the doctor,”

So how does that differ from us Gringos? I've always done the same.

hmmmmm ... maybe that's why I was given 3-9 months to live in June and currently in hospice?

He may be onto something there!
