Illegal Immigration and American Medicine
by Madeleine Pelner Cosman

Medical altruism requires Americans to sacrifice their money and their lives for the poor, the sick, the disabled, and the illegal aliens. While medical insurance rates skyrocket and medical care is rationed, Americans pay for free care for illegal aliens. The pernicious “Emergency Treatment and Active Labor Act” demands that physicians and hospitals treat for free (or face fines up to $50,000 per incident) anyone who comes to an Emergency Room whether or not able to pay or whether or not “legal”. Hospitals close because of bankruptcy (84 California hospitals shuttered between 1993 and 2004), and medicine lurches into socialism by the sacrifice of our best to benefit the poor, hungry masses yearning to turn our compassion against us. Medical lawyer Madeleine Cosman argues that the choice for many Americans is life with Medical Objectivism or death by Medical Altruism.
