Where do my taxes go ? inmigration ?

Question

Unreimbursed Medical Expenditures

Many public hospitals in the United States, especially in the Southwest, are facing major financial difficulties because of the services that they are rendering to indigent alien patients (many of whom are in the country illegally). As a response, Rep. Mark Foley (R-FL) introduced legislation in July 2002 to require the federal government to compensate the hospitals for these expenses so that the burden would not be borne only by local taxpayers.

Answer 1

In some tub o'lard rich guy's pocket so he and his blob of a wife can go on vacation in Cancun that is where.Hope you never lose your job or become disabled - bet you won't complain then.

Answer 2

Your taxes go to a lot of things, the war in Iraq, Welfare, are we only complaining about illegals without insurance because there are certainly millions of US citizens without.

Answer 3

"inmigration" is not a word.

Foley is that pervert that preyed on kids that worked as aides, right?

The Mexican Government should reimburse the US for ALL of their citizens for medical care! NOT OURS!

Answer 4

It is so disgusting to get on here and watch ignorant Americans that have never traveled out of the US to preach their gospel in this forum designed to help people.  Tourism is the #1 industry in the USA.  If people are seeking education or are already educated and wanting to live here then get off their backs.  They are literally bring the resource of another country to here.  Yes there are abuses of the system.  Move on, hopefully you will not have to use a form a welfare your whole life, but I am not counting on it.

Answer 5

Stop blaming everything on illegals.  Boo Who!   I work for a hospital and there are MORE Americans that come in to the ER's with NO insurance and the hospital has to the eat the cost. There are also MORE Americans that come into the ER that on the medical card.  That is where YOUR taxes are going. Stop blaming illegals for everything when its in your own back yard!

Answer 6

Given your spelling of " Inmigracion " I'd ask what is your status.

Your taxes are being wasted it is common knowledge. Not just on Immigration enforcement but military expenditures, low income housing, public health care, finanicial assistance to billion dollar corparations like fannie may, airfare for our congress, anti smoking crusades, etc...

I could go on but it is depressing enough already.

But since your tax dollars pay my salary let me personally thank you.

Answer 7

the hospitals don't always get reimbursed. UMC in Tucson expects to be repaid 1-2 million dollars out of 5-6 million spent on illegals.
