Opps headline should be .......Dialysis patients lose access to treatments..sorry my error
Pack them up and send them home unless their home countries pay their hospital bills. There is no “free” medical care and the USA is worse than broke. We owe trillions to every man and his dog.
Pay for a ticket home. Let their home countries deal with them.
-——The emergency room is now the immigrants’ only option,——
They could go to a hospital in Satillo or perhaps Cancun
Honestly, isn’t that obvious? I’m not taking you to task either. For crying out loud, this has reached the point where it’s damned absurd.
No, those hospitals can’t work for free. So what they do is charge you or your insurance a higher rate to cover those who can’t pay.
They either do that or start using the cheapest ass stuff they can find to fulfill your medical needs.
They either do that, or they close the service.
We had seven trauma centers close in the Los Angeles area over an eighteen month period about five years ago.
Now citizens can’t get services either. They have to be transported farther distances risking death, because the illegals closed those trauma centers. I will say that our own indigent populace was pulling the same routine the illegals were too. They couldn’t pay, and were helping to bleed these centers dry.
It’s maddening to watch this play out.
incorrect headline alert!
Gee and papers wonder why they’re losing customers.
Accuracy and bias.
Better headline: “22 Illegals lose free dialysis access; begin looking for free medical care elsewhere in US.”
Here’s a thought: Why don’t the illegals just stay in their own f***ing countries and get their medical treatment there?
medivac to mexico sounds like a mercy operation
luckily these folks hail from an OPEC nation
Regardless of what you have heard, there are some excellent hospitals in Central and South America. Send them there quickly to save their lives!!
Dialysis is not life saving..it is life extending.
Kidney transplant is life saving but only temporarily.
Death.. one to a customer, you can only affect the timing sometimes.
“It is disappointing,” she said. “We were negotiating in good faith.”
That's funny. Fresenius won't do it for free, but they expect Grady to. Strange definition of "negotiating in good faith."
If government had not interfered in health care and made it so expensive and put such regulatory burdens on doctors and hospitals, poor patients would be helped by charities, religious groups, ordinary citizens, and doctors and clinics that would have the time and wherewithal (freed from government burdens). Socialism screws up everything and pits groups of people against each other as they compete for shrinking resources.
Ping!
We are all paying for this treatment
it is time for Mexico or the home country to ante up and pay for THEIR citizen
These patients should be stabilized and flown back to a major medical center in their home land.. we can not be the worlds hospital
