While sipping my coffee this Sunday morning, spending time before I would be leaving to go to church, I came across an article that hit a nerve.
Here is an excerpt:
“Eight years ago, Mr. Jiménez, 35, an illegal immigrant working as a gardener in Stuart, Fla., suffered devastating injuries in a car crash with a drunken Floridian. A community hospital saved his life, twice, and, after failing to find a rehabilitation center willing to accept an uninsured patient, kept him as a ward for years at a cost of $1.5 million.”
The article, posted in the NYTimes web site, talks about the poor individuals who appear to be deported by hospitals, making this look like a mission by many hospitals to deprive individuals proper care. These individuals are illegal immigrants. The NYTimes, in my opinion would like to make the hospitals look like the villian and the illegals look like the victims.
There once was a time when the people of the USA stood up for what was right and just. Looking out for each other first, as a family looks out for each other before worrying about the family in the next town over. In other words, as compassionate as we are for those who might be less fortunate, we always looked out for our family first. This is not the tone of today’s society, at least in the liberal arena where socialism pushed heavily.
I care for all people of the world, but first and utmost I care for my family, my town, my state and my country. I cannot be a provider for the world if I cannot be a provider for for my family.
America is constantly whining about increased health care costs and health care coverage for all people, but does this include free coverage for illegal immigrants and others who come here to sponge off of the American system? I say adamantly NO! How can we expect the health care system foot the bill for those who cannot and do not pay? Sure, I am in favor of the health care system providing emergency care for all people; which in fact they do, but to provide for ALL care? Absolutely not.
I believe the NYTimes should extend the helping hand. Instead of spinning the story and making the less fortunate victims (illegal immigrants and such) , I propose they themselves take their hard earned dollars and subsidize the health care of those who cannot afford it….INSTEAD implying it is the responsibility of the health care system to provide long term care for those who cannot pay.
How about the NYtimes providing free newspapers for all Americans and illegal immigrants? I think they should. They want everyone to know the problems of this country (even if fabricated by their reporters). If it is so important for them to degrade our country and feel it is so important to report such stories, then they should become a free paper!
If someone loses their job and cannot afford to pay the subscription price of their trashy paper, will they provide it free? Of course not. They would be out of business very fast – but then again, it is ok for the hospital to provide free care.
The truth of the matter is, the NYTimes WANTS the healthcare system to fail. That way, socialism could jump in and take over all health care in this country. That is right up their alley – one step closer to a socialized society – communism.
The liberal left is praying for such a failure. Create unwarranted sympathy for the victim at the expense of others.
Read the story and then tell me how I am wrong…..
