Hospital emergency rooms in Florida may soon be closing their doors as a result of increased demands by uninsured and under-insured patients – many of them illegal aliens.
As WorldNetDaily previously reported, a study by a prominent medical attorney concludes the porous border with Mexico and the resulting influx of illegal aliens poses a major public health threat to the U.S.
Madeleine Pelner Cosman, author of a report in the spring issue of the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons, is particularly concerned with increases in multiple drug-resistant tuberculosis, chagas disease, dengue fever, polio, hepatitis A, B, and C, she told Lou Dobbs on CNN in June.
"Certain diseases that we thought we had vanquished years ago are coming back, and other diseases that we've never seen or rarely seen in America, because they've always been the diseases of poverty and the third world, are coming in now," she said.
As WorldNetDaily reported, even leprosy is suddenly on the radar of health officials.
Cosman recommends closing the border to all illegal traffic, rescinding the citizenship of "anchor babies," those born in the U.S. to parents of illegals, and making the aiding and abetting of illegals a crime.
"We have a terrible, absolutely vicious, law called EMTALA: the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act, which is really the culprit that requires every emergency room, and every physician of an emergency room, to treat illegal aliens for free," she said.
Cosman said 84 hospitals in California have been forced to close because of the high cost of treating illegal aliens with only 50 percent of all treatments reimbursed by government.
While politicians often mention there are 43 million without health insurance in this country, Cosman's report estimates that at least 25 percent of those are illegal immigrants. The figure could be as high as 50 percent.
"Today, legal immigrants must demonstrate that they are free of communicable diseases and drug addiction to qualify for lawful permanent residency green cards," writes Cosman, a medical lawyer, who formerly taught medical students at the City University of New York. "Illegal aliens simply cross our borders medically unexamined, hiding in their bodies any number of communicable diseases."
But we need these illegals--uh, I mean, undocumented workers--or America will collapse! Gringos cannot & will not tax their puny brains with such work as picking grapes, oranges, strawberries; washing dishes; mowing yards; hammering nails; and plunging toilets. And we know that if we stop doing these strenuous tasks, the gringos will shrivel up and die. So who cares if they get consumption or some other horrible and all-but-eradicated disease? Who cares if they can't get their legs stapled back on in an emergency room, since Julio's gunshot-wound is being treated, first? Heck, who cares if they don't like crime waves and depressed wages?
Gringos should shut up and accept their allotments in life. They have plenty of fresh fruit, clean china, immaculate lawns, well-shingled roofs, and sparkling comodas. And when Dubya kisses our feet on bended knee for our troubles, we smile graciously and say:
"De nada, puto."
