Illegals also use emergency rooms as primary care providers. They go to emergency for things usually handled in a doctor's appointment. They hit the ER for vaccinations and well baby care. Small hospitals cannot function under that kind of pressure.

Urban hospitals have much more money available. They have more workers available. When a patient doesn't pay, what do you think happens? Illegals don't pay. It's a loss. Rural hospitals are unable to absorb those costs.

Houston has the largest medical complexes in the world, literally. Why are illegals not driving their hospitals out of business vs. rural hospitals?

They are! when these smaller hospitals close. Guess who takes up the slack and additional health care costs? It's the larger medical hospital complexes and it places more burdens on them...

Center city hospital with the ring of inner-city ghettos get a lot of state, local and federal money to stay open. Those hospitals exist on that. For very few residents pay a dime to go there. The police, medial and fire sirens are running 24 hours a day. Let's close some of them in each city.
