I didn't get too deep in the convo with him.... but basically there's a law that says a hospital can't deny someone medical care do to no issurance. The government basically pics up the tab. I'm not sure how it works exactly though.

What I do know is that my buddy is super smart and his brother in law is the head anistesiologist at that same hospital. So he does know what he's talking about.

So I have to say I don't feel it's right for illegals to come across the border just to take advantage of our hospital system. If they plan on staying here, contributing to our economy and eventually becoming citizens that's one thing. But coming here just to take advantage of our better hospitals and then going right back over the border I think is unfair to us.
