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.

My wife, 2 kids and I are in GOOD health we pay over $400.00 a month in basic health insurance with no extras, we have a $3,000.00 year per person deductible. And your telling me an illegal got millions in health care, may get millions more and might sue the hospital on top of everything as a thank you.

You have got to be *&@%$#@ me!!!

You can add to his 2 million another few BILLION in Meds, to the cost to the tax payers, and that's probably and under estimation. And that is not to mention the hospitals that have completely shut down due to being choked off financially.

What is even more galling is that he is receiving special treatment NOT in spite of the fact that he is a criminal, but BECAUSE he is a criminal. There are likely tens of thousands of Guatemalans who could benefit from "free" American healthcare, but they are not being brought here to get it, only this guy. Why him and not the others..........What is the difference??? He broke our laws to come here illegally, the others didn't. He gets rewarded.....

I know of a local elderly couple who recently lost their home due to unpaid medical bills. Apparently they weren't eligible for any assistance, despite being citizens and having paid in many thousands of $ in taxes over the years, because they owned property. I kept thinking of them when I was reading this article.
