Yeah, right.

It varies. In some places it's hard for illegals to get any other aid
except emergency rooms.

Bull****. What's stopping them (or anyone else) from just going to the
doctor?

Doctors demand money or insurance. You never saw those discreet little
signs saying "It is customary to pay for services when rendered"? A
simple 5-minute visit is $100. God help you if you need tests. The
doctors don't have to take you if you can't -- or won't -- pay.
Hospitals do.

The point is, that's a problem for *poor* people -- not a problem specifically
for illegal aliens.
