Maybe you should do some research before you post a rebuttal. It is clearly against the law to deny medical service.

There was a story here in the newspaper about one person who visited the EMERGENCY room over 200 times in 3 years for PRIMARY health care. That's a big part of the problem.

But not a reason to deny people access to Primary health care.

Agreed, but the person who was the subject of the story was advised to find help elsewhere and to stop abusing the system. They would go in everytime they had a cold, sore whatever, etc, etc, etc. Yes they also went in when they really did have problems, but alot of the ER visits were for routine things. They were using the ER as their Health Care because they thought had nothing else to use. The Welfare 'System' was explained to them and they are now using it. My wife works for the Welfare folks and the story came around her office making sure all the current and future 'customers' were aware of the options available.

Abstract
There is growing controversy regarding illegal immigrants and their use of social services, including health care, in this country. We surveyed undocumented persons presenting at our emergency department to investigate the reasons why they sought care in the United States. Overall, 227 visits (8.6%) were made in the emergency department by illegal immigrants, mostly Hispanics. Of 104 patients surveyed, all sought care in this country because they were here at the time, and 86 (83%) intended to remain permanently. Of the 104 persons, 83 (80%) cited lack of funding as a reason for seeking emergency department care. Undocumented Hispanics had a higher uninsured rate (64%) than both Hispanics (32%) and non-Hispanics (30%). Of the 104 patients, 38 (36%) had difficulty obtaining care elsewhere because of their status, 53 (51%) knew of no other sources of care, and 46 (44%) said that even if available, only the emergency department was acceptable. Many undocumented persons seek care in the United States because they reside here permanently, often using this emergency department as their source of care. These findings may be important in light of recent efforts to restrict services for this group.

Ok, Ok, Ok. So people go to a hospital when they are sick, but I fail to see the conclusion any of this is pointing to. Are you saying that 1) The US should deny the poor to hospital access, or 2) hospitals should not provide primary health care services or 3) There should be primary health care provided that reduces the load on hospitals who need to provide Emergency care or 4) Hospital administrators are providing services that they do not have to or 5) Hospitals should not be legislated to provide certain services or 6) The poor should not have acces to health care or 7) When it comes to health care, no money no service.

What are you trying to say? We can sit here and tell stories until we fall asleep but the story needs a point to it.
