Even with universal health care, illegals will live under the existing status quo — they will go to the emergency rooms. [/quote]
captcha, the above is what I said.
Illegals don’t have access to health care now, unless they go the the emergency room or pay out of pocket. That will not change with any kind of health care reform.
The illegal immigrant issue is no reason to block health care reform (which would not give any rights to illegals).[/quote]
Ah, I see. Eligible (legal residents) are covered and the ineligible are limited to the emergency system. The legal status is established at the time of insuring, not at the time the service is performed. The cost is reduced due to removal of part of the current flow from the emergency rooms.
