Anchor babies

[Anonymous]

First, DH is an ER doc and yes, they know about the insurance issues - the information is right on the cover page and it can at times indicate certain procesures/process if the patient is not in an urgent/emergent situation....there are insurances that require authorization for ED visits for example.

The US is not the only place this is happening - it seemed nearly epidemic in Ireland a few years ago.

No one objects to the idea that a woman in labor should receive care. It's coming to a particular country for the purpose of doing it that is the problem.

I would like to know because from what I hear uninsured mothers have been forced to have unassisted homebirths

You're joking, right? Walk into any emergency room in labor - they'll deliver you.

if the baby says come, then it comes
but you will have to pay

They should be cased around the world with the bill, just like any American would be.

Huh? I'm not employed by the hospital. Maryland medical assistance writes the check to me. I know who is paying me, for what patients, and how much. I don't do the actuall billing but I know where the revenue is coming from.

It seems the only solution is to bar pregnant women from traveling. Well send the men on Intl business trips while the lady folk stay home.

There are 100's of things that you could do to discourage it. Problem is that Democrats don't care how much taxpayer money they spend in order to buy votes. These people will be back for more handouts later, which is why they had the anchor babies to begin with.

So the Dems use our money to do what we want? As opposed to the GOPers who take corporate money to do what the corporations want. I know who I prefer in that situation.

The women coming here to give birth do not travel on business visas. Also, given the maternity leave standards in most countries other than the US, late-term pregnant women generally won't be traveling for work in the first place.
