Moses, we appreciate your skills and your services. That goes for all medical folks. We happen to also appreciate your personal friendship, sense of humor, good judgement, etc.

I'm one of those liberals who feels that, since we have the technology (ability), I would prefer that all inhabitants of America receive safe and effective health care. If I rephrase that, it sounds like this: Since we have the ability to provide it, I would prefer that nobody be left suffering or in mortal danger because they are too poor. We are in love with the notion that there are "haves" and "have nots" in America.....winners and losers.....but I don't this to apply in health care. Health and survival as prizes going to the highest bidders.

I am with you guys in terms of illegal alien issues. I'm not sure you're willing to approve the measures and gubmit offices necessary to fix that problem, but in principle I'm with you.

This child will be an American citizen, right? What if an American citizen is too young to care for him or herself? Can the alien mother stay here legally in that scenario?

Moses, I am surprised that you don't get paid for this. Unfunded mandate. If the gubmit requires the hospital to treat her, then the gubmit should pony up. And before you guys get your panties twisted, please notice that we pay for these services either way. If the gubmit is not paying Moses, then Moses' costs go up and so do the prices of his paid services.

We have universal health care, except that we're doing it the most expensive way possible, and also in a way that hides the data from us. We could control costs and services, and make informed decisions, if we reformed this system.
