How illegal get healthcare

HOW ILLEGAL GET HEALTHCARE

Illegal aliens, here in Nevada, are able to obtain healthcare subsidized by Nevada tax payers through Access to Healthcare Network. Same as what Obama say he will not give them, the Nevada tax payer gives them. Access to Healthcare Network provides them with medical, dental and vision at a discount.

Nevada Drug Card, government subsidized, provides prescription to them at a discount.

Government healthcare will not work. Private healthcare is not working. But private HC do not cover every one and government HC will. Is we do not pass a healthcare plan that covers every American, it will be the America’s biggest tragedy ever.

We're spending over 17% of our GDP on healthcare and that number continues to climb. That is unsustainable. Wanna talk tragedy?

I don't see where the drug card program is government run or funded.

If you click on the link at the bottom of the page, you get this:

And the website (Nevada Drug Card) is by these people:

United Networks of America Networks of America is one of the largest providers of value added managed care products and services in the United States.

In other words, a rip-off. But doesn't appear to be a government program.

It's confusing. And obviously set up to take advantage of people.

I don't know for sure; maybe there is some state subsidy there, but I don't see anything but a private company trying to make a buck.

i understand that it's confusing, but i think that is at least in part because of people who say things they know are untrue...

yet they keep repeating them.

I meant the website was confusing. I can see how people would be thinking they're getting some sort of insurance card or state assistance. But down there at the bottom, in little bitty letters:

United Networks of America

THIS PLAN IS NOT INSURANCE

And if you google it, there seems to be one for every state... same website for each (different name, of course).

ah... ok. sorry. i thought you meant the issue of health care... which IS confusing in it's own right.

I see what you mean about the site, though.

But it's sad to see so much disinformation around.

It's basically a manufacturer's coupon program. The drug companies underwrite it to encourage people that don't have coverage to buy non-generic drugs (therefore they still make the profit). It is only valuable if you can't get a generic version of the drug and if you don't have prescription coverage.

It has nothing to do with taxpayer's money.

Hospitals are prevented from disclosing immigration status to federal authorities. Emergency rooms may not deny treatment to anyone. While I understand that this is driving up costs for all of us, and needs to be addressed, no one can say that we are not already funding illegal immigrant health care. So what are we talking about? Health care for all or health insurance for all? That's why everyone is so confused.

Hospitals aren't law enforcement, and they aren't required to treat everyone.
