That doesn't seem to support your "bull shit" accusation.

I never said that our "citizens are dying left and right". What I said was that illegals get free health care while the working poor get nada.

The working poor can go to the ER just like the illegals and be treated. How are you getting the working poor get nada but the illegals get free health care?

Paid for by our tax dollars.

You said that liberals said there was not enough health coverage, and to refute those bleeding hearts you said that the working poor got none. Not a particularly convincing refutation. Or were you advocating that the working poor go to the ER for checkups like those lucky ducky illegals?

Oh they do. I know plenty who do and see them do so. I definately would not advocate it. See legal citzens who have a SSN, a home, a place of employment, etc. are targets of debt collectors when they can't pay their ER bill, illegal aliens, who get the same care, are off the hook in that respect.

It sounds like if the working poor were able to go to the doctor with the same expectation as the illegals - quality care without debt collectors - they would be able to get even better care.

Quite possible.
