Praise the Lord...I can sleep well tonight!! I've been so worried lately that the Mexicans were not happy with our ER services and the maternity ward care! What a relief!

Once again, our entire health care system is expected to bend over backwards so as to ensure hispanics feel "comfortable and accepting!" I'm not even sure what that actually that means!

I'm sick and tired of these people feeling as if they are so special!

It just the same Liberal babble that journalists spew in order to keep their former hippie bosses from firing them ("Be sure to include something about the 'rights of minorities' in this article because we have nothing better to write...")

Hispanics are more likely to make decisions based on family consensus

THIS IS JUST SIMPLY NOT TRUE. HISPANICS GO TO THE DOCTOR AND MAKE MEDICAL DECISIONS IN THE SAME MANNER AS EVERYONE ELSE DOES.

LOL......I was thinking the same thing.

I don't ever once recall my husband and his family having a big family meeting concerning their individual health care decisions

Now, illegal aliens on the other hand are a different story. What the rest of the population does not need to discuss, they do because it boils down to whether the need is worth the risk to them that someone will report their status and it really doesn't matter what the situation.......taking someone to the hospital, going to a parent-teacher conference, reporting a burglary.....it's all the same to them: Do we really need to do this and take that chance?

How's that song by Genesis go? "It's no fun being an illegal alien......"

Eddie Murphy of Saturday Night Live once did a great parody of that idea. He goes to a makeup artist to have his skin and hair changed to make him look like a caucasian. He then boards a dirty inner city bus to go to work. When the whites on the bus "think" that all the Blacks have left and there are nothing but whites still riding the bus, they start breaking out champaign and throwing hundred dollar bills in the air.

There now are alot of Blacks making fun of the idea of 'white privelege', but sadly many Latino illegal aliens think they can still pull the race card with this idea...

Newsflash, this 'just in'..

Study finds many Hispanics forgoing routine health care

From, the 'Well Duh!' Department...

Study finds many Americans "forgoing routine health care" too...

I am one of those uninsured who also avoids the doctors, and I am an American-born citizen born to American citizen parents on American soil. I won't go to the doctor because I have to pay cash for my $135 5-minute visit, and eagerly the doctor is suggesting that he run all kinds of medical tests I don't think I need (done by medical specialists which will cost who knows how much).
My single prescription for high blood pressure went from $86 a month a few years ago to $102.
Isn't there anyway I can get a false ID as an illegal alien so I can benefit from some public handouts?
