The Fed Gov has been paying out 20 Bill a year to Hospitals for illegals? "Saint's preserve us!"

Hospitals Are Worried About Cut in Fund for the Uninsured
I will keep this post. It is another example of the lack of transparency in healthcare, especially when it comes to government expenditures. All of a sudden we "discover" that they are paying out those 20 billion of our money. What else did they forget to mention? Was the decision made by Congress (hidden in a 2000 page bill) - or was it decided by a bureaucrat in a corner office?

Just wait and see what fascinating movements of funds we'll be discovering after they take over the entire industry.

In California (and probably other states), what the Fed pays for the law they imposed on our hospitals, does not cover the cost of freeloaders and/or illegals who use emergency rooms to attain full and high quality health care.

That law is, of course, that no one can be turned away from an emergency room even if they can't pay.

Or if they just arrived in the back of a van from Mexico nine months pregnant.
