Yes, here is where our healthcare system is at. Sick immigrants – both legal and illegal – being deported by American hospitals.
And, not just for-profit hospitals. Even a Catholic hospital in Phoenix (page 2) gets busted.
Why? Medicaid won’t pay for post-hospital medical care for immigrants, whether legal or illegal, and hospitals claim their only option of follow-through medical care is by deportation.
Picture a patient being sent to Guatemala with a traumatic brain injury. Picture an American-born baby nearly deported.
But, you don’t have to picture it. They’re all described Sick immigrants – both legal and illegal – being deported in the story.
