Illegal Immigrants get free liver transplant and treatment

California gives free liver transplant to Illegal Immigrants up to age of 21. The average cost of a liver transplant and first-year follow-up is nearly $490,000, and anti-rejection medications can run more than $30,000 annually...and taxpayers are footing the bill for every single Illegal who needs them. Does anyone really believe they pay enough back into the system to justify their free health care from American taxpayers?

The illegal woman citied in the article believes American taxpayers have the responsibility to take care of her medical care for free for the rest of her life, because she has been gotten it for free so far. And she is getting her 4th liver transplant!, paid for by American taxpayers. Sounds reasonable for her cutting in line to get transplant that should have gone to a citizen?

"It doesn't matter if I'm undocumented," she said. "They should take care of me at UCLA for the rest of my life because I've been there since I was a baby."

Larry Lopez, a U.S. Citizen asks, "Why do we have to get in line behind immigrants, foreigners, when we have enough people here to fill the hospitals?" asked Gonzalez, 54, who lives in Ventura. "It just seems obvious to me that we shouldn't be taking a back seat."

Out of curiousity, unless you are employed now by a mom-pop shop, you are tied to big business.

Does that give you a warm fuzzy?

No I am not employed by "big business" and have not been since 1998.

Yeah, she gets to take the spot of whoever it is who died due to lack of a liver.

Oh. I thought the way it worked was that the liver of somebody who died saves somebody else who would soon also die. I didn't know they were now stealing the livers of the living.

Dance Moonie, dance!! Can we get some music here?

You know what I meant so quit doing the two-step.

 
Glad to see that we're still human beings that won't condemn a young person to die just because of their immigration status.

I imagine people are more upset at letting our sovereignty die, which explains the love loss for the individual. She would be a casualty in the greater conflict and would remain that way until the conflict is over.

I don't think it's unreasonable for you to say what you mean or for me to point out the meaning of what you said. Now that I know what you meant is:

'She gets to take the spot of whomever it was that died and donated the liver.', I can say well OK if that's what you want.
 
I say if we have to let Illegal Immigrants in to work, then Tax them at higher rates.

Tax Em to get in.
Tax Em to Work.
Tax Em to Drive.
Tax Em to Leave.
Tax the Money they Send Back.
