Well I’ll be, a sensible law going into effect. The US is going to save a boatload off of this.
This is only in Nebraska....how many illegals go to Nebraska???
This isn’t as much of a ‘silver lining’ as one might hope. Consider this. Suppose the federal/state government complex conceded that an ‘unborn child’ could legally be considered deserving of medicaid, i.e., recognized class status as a citizen. Just suppose...now, where would that put abortion? Hmmmmmm....methinks this is the rock and hard place and the libs, true to form, will put their right to kill an unborn human life over the life of an ‘immigrant’ and her unborn ‘tissue’....They are just being very very cautios, because if they did this, the RTLs would have a valid case to sue against Federally subsidized murder of a ‘recognized’ citizen.....crafty bastards these libs....
Yeah, we passed some common sense laws here in OK and the wetbacks bailed. Then our doughnut munching fat butt Tulsa PD refused to enforce the law. The mex's are back.
They will still be entitled to hospital care during labor because of EMTALA. All this means is that the hospitals won’t be compensated at all for their care and will pass on their costs to other patients or head toward bankruptcy.
I haven’t seen any studies showing whether the prenatal care they receive is cost-effective in preventing complications, prematurity or birth defects but it might just be.
Mind you, I think birthright citizenship is a bad idea, that pregnant illegal immigrants should be deported like any other illegal immigrant, that countries that encourage their citizens to come here illegally should be billed for their care, that visas should not be issued to pregnant women likely to give birth here, and that the hospitals should dun the poor as they do the middle class.
