“she said” the doc told her to go to Mexico.
I call BS!
Ain’t true, I’m bettin’.

[PGR88]

I would like to see a newspaper story about what happens if an American goes to a hospital in Mexico and expects free cancer-surgery.

[ridesthemiles]

The real ‘crushing news’ in this sotry is how many dollars have been spent for this family in the years she had been here illegally.

Taxpayers deserve better.

[WellyP]

Good for the DOC!

‘”They treated us like animals, like dogs or something,” said Aguillon, 36, an unemployed welder.’

I bet they can’t wait to get back to Mexico where they won’t be treated like animals. He is an unemployed welder.
Isn’t it time Mexico takes responsibity for it’s own citizens.

[Reagan69]

That is the correct course of action for this woman.

SORRY.

Many hospitals have had to close because of the expense of treating non-citizens. This endagers our own citizens’ lives.

And might I just add, if ANYTHING goes wrong with the treatment of the illegal aliens, the lawyers are standing by. I know firsthand.

Aguillon said he was upset about being told to take his wife to Mexico, a country he left when he was 13. "It's like saying to that black lady, because she is black, go to Africa," he said.

Only if "that black lady" is actually FROM Africa and is residing here illegally; otherwise there is a WORLD of difference, because "that black lady" is almost certainly a CITIZEN of the United States.

A doctor who reviewed Sanchez's medical records for the Houston Chronicle said they showed that UTMB ejected a woman with a potentially fatal condition because she was unable to pay.

Wouldn't disclosure of this type of information to a newspaper be a violation of the privacy provisions of the federal HIPPA laws?

[Mamzelle]

Excuse me, but an American having a heart attack, car accident or stroke cannot get emergency medical care in Mexico...and it has been thus for decades...without forking over upfront money.

Enough.

SEND THE BILL TO THE BUSH "AMNESTY" FAMILY.

[VRWCmember]

Aguillon said he was upset about being told to take his wife to Mexico, a country he left when he was 13. "It's like saying to that black lady, because she is black, go to Africa," he said.

NO, it's like telling a Canadian lady, because she is Canadian, go back to Canada for your socialist canadian healthcare rather than trying to soak our taxpayers for your medical bills.

[skeeter]

The Chronicle would rather the doctor ordered taxpayers to dig deep to take care of this lawbreakers health care.

Since jail is the option for those who don't pay their taxes, presumably this person's healthcare is more important that that of our own families.

[Texas56]

Having worked in three hospitals as part of the Texas Medical Center, I can tell you this is pure B.S.

John Sealy Hospital has a history of providing indigent care.

It is more likely an issue of an illegal not liking something that happened with eyes toward suing.

[Texas Fossil]

Aguillon finally moved from Galveston to Houston so he could qualify for care at Ben Taub General Hospital, where she is being treated.

If she were a U.S. Citizen living in Mexico, would a Mexican Hospital treat her, without insurance or ability to pay? Sounds cold, but what is the difference?

[sbMKE]

Taxpayers to Sanchez: GTFO!

[13Sisters76]

“SHE” is illegal, but her husband is not? This story is a huge streaming crock of bs. I do not believe it and have considered the thought that this is a story designed to pull in donations, first, and second, advance an agenda.

Lies, lies, dastardly lies.
