A
Las Vegas hospital providing emergency dialysis services to 80 illegal
immigrants says that accounts for much of its operating deficit.
"Our people are really torn," Brannman told the Las Vegas
Review-Journal. "We want to take care of people who are ill. We're
proud that we can save lives. But our employees are also worried about
the survival of UMC. They know that the appetite of taxpayers for
helping undocumented immigrants is limited."
The cost of providing dialysis to illegal immigrants doubled last year,
with twice as many seeking the treatment two or three times a week,
officials said.
UMC professionals say taxpayer-supported hospitals are strained to the
breaking point and need to be part of the discussion on how to reform
the nation's health care system. If this problem isn't solved, they
say, others can expect to wait longer or pay more for their own
emergency services.

Houston Chron comments run along this line (surprise)

Then Dr. Carrison, call ICE and have them all rounded up and bussed
back over the border. Let Mexico and all the rest take care of their
OWN people. Why do WE the American Citizens have to suffer while Mexico
floods our Nation with Illegals?
