I don't understand why they shouldn't be "entitled" to getting medical services... I just think that no matter where you are from you should always have the right to live..even if it means going to another country to get medical attention. Many people come here to get medical services... and I would guess it's mostly because their health care isn't as great in their home country.
Please don't take this the wrong way...

But when people such as Jessica's family come here (illegally, might I add) and feel "entitled" to healthcare, and then recieve healthcare, that raises the insurance and hospital costs for all of us. Somebody, after all, has to foot the bill.

In Jessica's case, however, I think someone mentioned they had a benefactor?

But in any case, what makes somebody more entitled than another person? There are many people who legitimately pay for insurance and healthcare... why shouldn't they just feel "entitled?" Heck, let's just all stop paying for health insurance and hospital costs since somebody else will do it. Let's become "entitled."

XOXO,
Annie.
