No problem. But kindly take a moment to read the article. And this time, actually read the article and the Seattle Times article referenced therein. It relates to people who are here illegally who are gaming the system. You mischaracterize my position: I do not have an anti-immigrant stance. I do, however, have a decidely anti-illegal occupants stance. BIG difference. Huge! CDR p.s. I'm not a doctor - not sure where you got that from either. In case it matters, I am a lawyer & financial planner. And a political hack. Dear Lisa:

I just submitted my information to you to get a quote, but please don't bother writing me back. Your anti-immigrant stance just lost my business. Here in Atlanta, the dozens of people who were clients of the Grady dialysis clinic are starting to die now that the clinic has been closed are patients, mothers, sons, *people,* not "illegals." Shame on you. I thought you were a doctor, not a political hack. What a disappointment. I just submitted my information to you to get a quote, but please don’t bother writing me back.

As a relatively healthy person, I am funding excessive health care for those who are less healthy than me... Should I complain about that? For profit Hospitals also dump US citizens that have no health insurance in front of public hospitals especially in big cities like L.A. and NYC, if we had a health care system that was funded in a more rational way, there would be no need for this kind of balancing act. I hope upcoming health care reform moves us in that direction The amount of money that undocumented workers and their families contribute to social security and in taxes far outweighs any individual stories such as that one.
