No one wants to pay over to provide healthcare for undocumented immigrants. But according to Los Angeles Times, federal, state and local funds already reimburse hospitals, clinics and emergency care centers about $4 billion a year to cover the medically indigent. And "according to other sources, overall the United States pays over $30 billion dollar a year for people who do not pay for emergency services. The fact is that most undocumented immigrants go to emergency rooms for minor pains because they do not have access to doctors. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that not for profit clinics are cost efficient and only when it becomes nationally recognized for its tremendous efforts, can we really afford to achieve universal healthcare. "
I would like to dedicate this blog to those unspoken for, unrepresented, but continue to contribute tremendously to the American society. I hope everyone post freely but are mindful of others and extremely meticulous, because every post is an reflection upon you. And since we are college students; scholars, we should post like one.
