OAKLAND, California - A new medical center in Oakland is open, thanks to the stimulus package.

Its expected patients include the uninsured, the underinsured, and the undocumented of Alameda County.

The Frank Kiang Medical Center expects to serve about 5,000 patients, especially undocumented immigrants who have been too scared too see doctors in the past.

“A lack of immigration papers or status has become inhibiting to many Filipinos despite the fact they are the ones in need of services,â€

Undocumented patients will get services for free or at little cost. Low-income patients will be enrolled in subsidized state or local health coverage based on their income and family size.

The center said it provides services in 9 Asian languages to make immigrants feel more comfortable

So this is what our stimulus money is for, this really stimulates our economy. Low-income Americans will be subsidized by state or local health coverage and illegal aliens will get services for free or at little cost.
And lets make sure these illegal aliens feel more comfortable by providing 9 Asian languages. I guess Spanish will also be provided.

It does stimulate the economy because the Doctors and Hospital will get paid.
BY US!

I find it funny though that if an IA is caught practicing medicine, dentistry or the law the full force of the government comes down on that IA. Those jobs are PROTECTED but my job in construction isn't?
