The whole situation is just sick from several standpoints.
To bring up a point...For all of you who complaining about paying for the medical care of this girl....what about the THOUSANDS of other people (immigrants and citizens) who have NO insurance who come to indigent hospitals (meaning the hospital can not refuse treatment based on ability--or inability--to pay) for medical care...both routine and emergency??? Believe me when I say they drive up the cost of healthcare just as much. I see it all the time...the hospital I work at is an indigent facility. Are you saying that the only people who deserve to be treated anywhere are those with insurance?? It's just a question but it seems this is how many of you feel...please correct me if I'm wrong. (And for the record, I'm not a bleeding heart...I'm just trying to make sense of the discussion).
