Well, if a person comes into an ER bleeding to death, you can't simply let them die.

You may be confusing getting basic care vs getting comprehensive coverage.

You may want to see the case of the woman who died in King's Hospital last year as a reason why regardless of your status, it is inhumane to let someone who seeks immediate treatment be turned away.

While unfortunately each and every illegal cannot be identified, if someone needs immeidate help you can't turn away.

Perhaps this issue here (and I am sure somoene can claify) is defining just exactly what 'basic insurance coverage' implies and what it covers.


So uhhhh.....if you see somebody getting hit by a car, are you going to ask if they are here in the US illegally before you call 911?
