"There is medicine available, but they don't have any money to buy it. There is no free health care in Guatemala."

Will someone please help my find all of the peices of my skull. My head just 'sploded....

The inmates are truly running the asylum.

The activist predicts if the family sues the hospital for transporting Jimenez back to Guatemala, damages would "outstrip anything that they saved by sending this guy home."

I guess the hospital will have to come up with some other method of "eliminating" deadbeat illegal patients......

Schell's organization is currently considering how Jimenez, who has the mental capacity of a child, might be returned to the United States.

As a Dimocratic member of the Senate Judiciary Committee????

[ChevyZ28]

At the risk of sounding unsympathetic, we have people who are citizens of this country who also need our help. What about them? I tell you, if you want a great tax rate and a better education, renounce your citizenship, leave for 2 years then return as an illegal alien.

[Servant of the 9]

Did the Apellate Court order him to be allowed to enter the US?

If he returns as an illegal, he is still subject to deportion if they can snag him before he makes the hospital.

Another judge who refuses to interpret the Constitution and rather legislate the liberal/leftist/socialist manta from the bench. If this small hospital goes under, who cares, certainly not him!

a Florida hospital that provided over $2 million in care to an injured illegal alien

I've worked all my life and paid taxes and my total taxes paid, even my total earnings don't equal what this criminal has received - If he was here illegally that means he is a criminal. It makes me want to cry in frustration.

The guy is a fool if he goes back into the same hospital. Too much chance of an accident, like the wrong dosage, or hooking up his IV drip to his colostomy bag by accident. Or something like that.

We're doomed.

Every time I read something like this, the more I am convinced this country needs a star chamber. A great big one with lots of branch offices.

Now, Jimenez's family is hoping he can be returned to the U.S. for further treatment and are considering suing the small hospital.

Jimenez suffered brain injuries in a 2000 car wreck and spent two years at Martin Memorial, racking up more than $2 million in unpaid medical bills.

According to the report, Jimenez spent less than two weeks at the Guatemalan hospital before he was discharged because he couldn't pay his bill.

Amazing. I never thought I would wish we were more like Guatemala.

"He's not getting medicine ... his condition is deteriorating," Schell said. "There is medicine available, but they don't have any money to buy it. There is no free health care in Guatemala."

There is no free health care in the US either because somebody ends up paying for it. If a freeloading illegal alien lawbreaker doesn't pay for his own health care, then the American taxpayer ends up paying for his health care.

[FITZ]

I wonder what gives them the right to one dime of taxpayer money? Let him stay in his own country, if his family wants Socicalism, let them work for it in Guatemala.

[gunnedah]

Hitlery and the Democrats have their free health care and the American population did not have a vote. Another one of our judges circumventing the Judicial System and the intent of an elected body.
Most of our formidable enemies come from within the Liberal Democrat Party and specifically the Bar.Whether we like it or not we have a revolution on our hands and we must fight to survive.
It's your choice Socialist, Communist or a Constitutional Republic with judges who interpet the law not circumvent or make thhe law.

[SCalGal]

According to the report, Jimenez spent less than two weeks at the Guatemalan hospital before he was discharged because he couldn't pay his bill. The 32-year-old now stays at his mother's home in Guatemala.

Guatemala has more sense than the US does.

Jimenez suffered brain injuries in a 2000 car wreck and spent two years at Martin Memorial, racking up more than $2 million in unpaid medical bills.

This is a lie. Someone is paying his bills, it just ain't him.
