Why didn't Michael Moore, the (quite ironically, morbidly-obese) director
of "Sicko," a celebrated new film about the American health care system,
focus on the FACT -- research it yourself! -- that U.S. hospitals are
being
bankrupted IN DROVES and are closing their doors left and right due to
being swarmed by non-paying illegal aliens who BY FEDERAL LAW *must* be
given medical treatment -- and co$t is irrelevant! -- whenever they show
up
at ANY American hospital, public or private?
And you WONDER why that aspirin the nurse gave you during your overnight
stay at the hospital (after an intoxicated illegal alien driver crashed
into your car while you were stopped at a red light) represented a $170.00
charge on your hospital bill, or why they billed you $97.00 for that box
of
tissues?
While women such as the beloved supermarket employee whose tragic story
is recounted below DIE tragically, Mexico is boating (didn't you hear?)
that one of its own, billionaire Carlos Slim, has surpassed Bill Gates as
The World's Richest Human Being.
And even on the very day that U.S. citizen Sandra Pearson would
painfully
breathe her dying breath after being denied the same medical care that the
25-30 million illegal aliens now inside the gates are entitled to, Señor
Slim and his Narcogovernment amigos ****pped us yet another 3,000 of their
poorest, least-educated, most violent citizens.
And did so again today, as well ...

A tragic lesson: Health care must be fixed
July 10, 2007
It might be an exaggeration to say the nation's health-care system - or
lack thereof - killed Sandra Pearson. But it sure didn't do much to keep
her from dying.
Pearson, who lived in the Town of Poughkeepsie, died June 30 - about five
months after she was diagnosed with a rare illness that had destroyed part
of her intestines.
Pearson - everybody called her Sandy - lived for 52 years, and she had
full-time jobs for 35 of those years. She had a medical insurance policy
through her employer, A&P Supermarkets, but it wasn't long after her
illness was diagnosed that she learned it was virtually worthless.
The policy contained a raft of exclusions and thresholds and caveats, and
the bottom line was this: Before she could undergo surgery involving a
transplant of some of her intestines, she would have to qualify for
Medicaid. And in order to qualify for Medicaid, she would have to give the
state Medicaid system her life's savings.
The red tape involved in applying and getting approved for Medicaid was
about as arduous and complicated as you'd expect, but with the help of a
social worker at Vassar Brothers Medical Center, Pearson finally did so
three months ago.
The social worker, May Mamiya, called Pearson's case a textbook example
of
what's wrong with the nation's health-care system: Here was a woman had
who
worked and paid taxes all her life and had a job that included medical
insurance. But when she needed help - for the first time in her life - the
system failed her miserably.
All the delays in dealing with her insurance carrier, and then Medicaid,
pushed Pearson farther down the waiting list for a donor for the
transplant
operation.
And on June 30, she ran out of time.
Those who knew Pearson said she was a hard worker with a kind heart and a
wonderful sense of humor. But the ordeal of waiting for medical treatment
for a serious illness in the United States of America in 2007 clearly wore
her down.
At the funeral Thursday morning at the Delehanty Funeral Home in
Wappingers Falls, Mary Jane Danko, a friend who works at the Mobil Foam
and
Wash on Route 9 - where Pearson held a part-time job - approached the open
casket and placed a paper butterfly on Pearson's floral print dress.
Danko said the two had spoken on the telephone on the afternoon of June
29
- and she sensed something was very wrong.
"Sandy's voice was different - the strength had gone out of it," she
said.
"I think she just gave up."
A few minutes later, a flower-draped hearse delivered Sandy Pearson's
casket to Poughkeepsie Rural Cemetery. Her burial plot sits on a bluff
overlooking the Hudson River. It's a beautiful and peaceful spot. As
Pearson's friends and family members paused at the grave for a final
goodbye, a warm breeze stirred a stand of tall pine trees nearby.
As Danko walked away, she said she would be angry for a long time about
what had happened to her friend.
"She was a wonderful person who worked hard all her life," she said.
"Where's the justice?"

THAT'S RIGHT MR. HERTZ -- WHERE'S THE *JUSTICE* WHEN 25-30 MILLION
ILLEGAL ALIENS ARE BANKRUPTING U.S. HOSPITALS, NOT TO MENTION MAKING
*PAYING* AMERICANS WAIT FOR HOURS TO BE SEEN BY A DOCTOR AND SOMETIMES
*MONTHS* BEFORE THEY CAN GET AN APPOINTMENT?
At one U.S. hospital -- Parkland Hospital in Dallas, Texas, famous for
being the facility which both President Kennedy and his accused assassin
were brought to after being shot -- almost (if not by this time actually
*more* than) TWELVE THOUSAND ANCHOR BABIES OF ILLEGAL ALIENS ARE DELIVERED
AT TAXPAYER EXPENSE ANNUALLY! "Urban legend!," you say? NOT! Check out

“How Eisenhower solved illegal border crossings from Mexico”
By John Dillin
http://www.csmonitor.com/2006/0706/p09s01-coop.html
Excerpt:
“General Eisenhower ... quoted a re****t in The New York Times,
highlighting one paragraph that said: ‘The rise in illegal
border-crossing
by Mexican 'wetbacks' to a current rate of more than
1,000,000 cases a year has been accompanied by a curious relaxation
in ethical standards extending all the way from the farmer-exploiters
of this contraband labor to the highest levels of the Federal
Government ..."
“Herbert Brownell Jr., Eisenhower's first attorney general, said the
president had a sense of urgency about illegal immigration when he took
office.
“America ‘was faced with a breakdown in law enforcement on a very
large
scale,’ Mr. Brownell said. ‘When I say large scale, I mean hundreds of
thousands were coming in from Mexico [every year] without restraint.’"

"Unfortunately, the majority of illegal aliens who are here are engaged in
criminal activity. Identity theft, use of fraudulent Social Security
numbers and green cards, tax evasion, driving without licenses represent
some of the crimes that are engaged in by the majority of illegal aliens
on
a daily basis merely to maintain and hide their illegal status. In
addition, violent crime and drug distribution and possession is also
prevalent among illegal aliens. Over 25% of today's federal prison
population are illegal aliens. In some areas of the country, 12% of
felonies, 25% of burglaries and 34% of thefts are committed by illegal
aliens."
-- Testimony of District Attorney John M. Morganelli before the House
Subcommittee on Immigration, Border, Security and Claims [Note: 99% of
warrants for murder in Los Angeles, California -- the USA's 2nd
most-populous city -- are for illegal aliens]
"It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate,
tireless minority keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of
men."
-- Samuel Adams
"“All great truths begin as heresies.”
-- Former Democrat Governor of Colorado Richard Lamm, official of
Defend Colorado Now, a movement opposed to illegal immigration
and public services for illegal aliens
