Comments on: U.S. Health Care System Fails to Support Immigrants http://www.medhealthinsurance.com/blog/health-care-immigration/ Thu, 11 Mar 2010 22:33:18 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Hema Ref http://www.medhealthinsurance.com/blog/health-care-immigration/comment-page-1/#comment-1857 Hema Ref Sun, 10 Jan 2010 07:24:52 +0000 http://www.medhealthinsurance.com/blog/?p=448#comment-1857 I believe that excluding people from the health care exchange is very impractical and most importantly harmful to all of us. It’s not about the policy, but the politics. We really need more people paying into the exchange, to make reform work for almost everyone. The process of screening out immigrants will harm our citizens too. Health care reform cannot and will not fix the immigration system. The fact is that America's families include immigrants. Excluding them is going to harm everyone. I believe that excluding people from the health care exchange is very impractical and most importantly harmful to all of us.

Who will pay for it? Taxpayers, who else. We already almost bankrupt country because of all those entitlement programs. All immigrants that come here should learn English then they can understand all the options and if they are illegal they should not get any health insurance in a first place. This is crazy. And sure enough they are quoting La Raza. Any time I go to a doctor I am getting all those brochure in 3 or 4 languages. Who is paying for it? So, now we need even more, maybe we will have translators in every doctor office, for every language that exists, paying by taxpayers.

For this person, there are two major categories of health insurance available: group and individual. Most people try to save money by buying a group policy.

Two totally different issues. If a individual is illegal, they should be removed from our country and transported to their own country for treatment. We are not responsible as a nation, to provide free health care to the world. Especially those who have entered illegally, costing our country billions possibly trillions of dollars in health care, education, security, job displacement and the list goes on... We do have a responsibility to those who are legal citizens of the US. Especially the ones who have fought and died for our country, and our freedom, in providing health and emotional care, as well as rehabilitative support in and out of the military to both themselves and their families.
