Carol Plato Speaks About Hospital Costs For Illegal Patient Care


Testimony of illegal alien care from 1 Florida hospital

While the economy is the issue still front and center in most American homes, illegal immigration is steadily rising to the top of the boiling kettle for many Americans. The high cost of  illegal immigrant health care has become the focus of America after watching this testimony from a Florida hospital.

What also has sparked national controversy and has become volcanic in nature – Arizona’s illegal immigration bill, SB 1070.

Governor Jan Brewer signed the bill back in April of 2010 and the enacted legislation has initiated protests around the United States. Surprisingly, more Americans favor than oppose Arizona immigration law. Out of those that were polled and understood the subject, 51% favored it, and 39% opposed it.

GALLUP BOTTOM LINE:
Most Americans have heard about Arizona’s tough new immigration law, and they generally support it. The law was passed partly in response to a lack of federal action on the issue. Since the Arizona bill became law, congressional Democrats have considered taking up the issue in the coming weeks, though this initial read on public opinion toward the Arizona law suggests Americans may not necessarily back an attempt to supersede or otherwise undermine it.

Recently, the state of Florida has began drafting legislation modeled after Arizona immigration law. Illegal aliens cost Florida hospitals $100 million (First Coast News).
