[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm democrat, but realistically speaking, with EMTALA laws requiring hospitals to treat/stabilize, but immigrants who don't have insurance, hospitals near the border cannot sustain themselves. To help hospitals stay in business near the border, that would mean a large tax burden on those who live in border states.

What if those folks have a stroke or some serious medical event requiring chronic care in a nursing home, but the hospital cannot discharge the patient because the nursing home will not accept them as an immigrant without healthcare insurance? [/quote]

There is something called medical deportation where the hospital stabilizes them and then see them back to their country to avoid long term costs.

It's not fair to citizens to cover the ER cost of those here illegally.[/quote]

Yes but even that can take awhile to set up and the patient stays in the hospital (without insurance) while they sort it out and make arrangements. [/quote]
