Thread: TN:Obstetric Unit's Closing Brings Protest, Outcry

Why does this sign need to be in Spanish?

National Nurses Organizing Committee held signs that read "Our Lives Are Worth More Than Your Profits" and "¿Porque HCA nos abandonó?" — why did HCA abandon us?

And California is going bankrupt because......

The NNOC (shown here holding the signs) is the organized labor arm of the California Nurses Association.

"Nosotros Merecemos" or "We Deserve"

How about this?
"Usted merece el mejor cuidado que su paÃ*s de orÃ*gen puede proporcionar. Usted merece exigir que su gobierno toma a cuidado de usted no los nuestros."

In English
You deserve the best care your home country can provide. You deserve to demand that your government take care of you not ours.

The nurses and healthcare activists hope that a new nearby Spanish-language billboard reading "Nosotros Merecemos" or "We Deserve" will raise awareness among residents to protest the hospital's decision and will force the facility to reopen the doors to its labor and delivery unit.

It just makes me sick the way they DEMAND free health care. And they even have the gall to put up a sign in SPANISH saying that they DESERVE free maternity care.

It makes me sick they think it is free!

HELLLLLOOOO someone is paying and it is the American citizens!!

Welcome, tossemback!
And, I just have to relate this. Years ago I was given the brochure for my health insurance policy that my employer provided, which said that pregnancy would be treated like every other "disease."

That's what I was going to say. They just couldn't handle all that money going out and none coming in as the result of people who believe they are entitled to having babies and not having to pay for services!

A couple of years ago, I read that 11 Southern California hospital groups had closed due to non-payment, mostly by illegal aliens. Those groups were comprised of more than a hundred hospitals and clinics. Looks like what happens in California, sooner or later, also happens to the rest of the nation. They also have some other really ugly things happening there that are certain to happen all over the nation unless the border is sealed and the deadbeats forced to pay.
