When consenting patients are transferred to Mexico for care (from any state), the U.S. hospital foots the bill (but it's about 1/3 the cost).

Read it.

Federal inaction on sealing the border, border security, immigration and illegals has to addressed and Gov. Rick Perry will do just that.

And if you believe the illegal-panderer La Raza Rick will do something to change that, I got a bridge to sell you in Brooklyn.

The people who hired him and whose roof he fell from should be billed. This sounds like an on-the-job injury. They hired an illegal alien and there should be consequences.

His “common law wife” is a US citizen. She should be responsible for his care, too.

I’ve seen these cases since med school. Mexico, with their government health care, used to refuse to take them back, much less pay for their care. Our government should not allow Mexico to refuse its citizens.

If they weren't getting here in the first place we wouldn't have this problem

It all comes down to sealing the border and deporting any and all leakage instantly.

I say all those humanitarians in media, entertainment and long term political life including this so called journalist Todd, should contribute more of thier salaries much like contributing say, to the plight of the starving in Africa to correct this travesty. On a brighter note the overloading of the system is right on schedule Alynski would be proud.

"...forcing patients to "accept" repatriation back to a country where there may be no hope of follow-up care can "only reflect badly on our great nation."

No more so than allowing these same criminals to repeatedly flaunt their illegal status.

Given the choice, I choose repatriation. And I can live with myself.

One of the problems is that we need a comprehensive immigration overhaul, not just little stabs at fixing individual problems.

We need to create short-term visas and many more legal slots for Latin Americans, who are most logically the ones who will come here to work, and do away with things like “humanitarian refugees,” virtually all of whom now are Muslims brought in from Africa or the ME. The latter group also uses the “family unification” dodge to bring in their elderly and just about anybody related to them, so we end up with a large group of immigrants who may be legal, but are totally useless and go directly onto various forms of state aid.

At the same time, we have stupid situations such as the one that affects one of my neighbors. She’s German and was married to an American. She has 2 (now adult) children who were born here and are thus US citizens and she owns property here. However, when she and her husband got divorced, she lost her green card and is prohibited from coming back into the US now for more than 90 days at a time. She has been to immigration attorneys and struggled with immigration rules for years, with no success. This is clearly unfair, idiotic and actually deprives us of somebody who would be a great citizen or even legal resident of the US.

As for non-emergency (long term) medical expenses for illegal immigrants, I have always thought that the governments of those countries should be billed. And if they don’t pay it, take it out of their foreign aid. This would give those countries some incentive to come up with ways of dealing with this and also some incentive to do better on controling the flow of immigrants.

But as long as we hack away at it piecemeal, we’re not going to solve the problem. However, every time anybody (such as Bush) suggests that we need reform and suggests even the glimmering of a plan, he is reviled and shot down without even giving the plan any discussion. So this, to me, means that so-called conservatives are happy with the chaotic state of affairs now and really don’t want to deal with the issue.

I’ve got a solution: Bill Mexico. And if Mexico won’t pay up, start cracking down on employers hiring illegals. Big time.

This is merely the flip-side of "compassionate entry."
