>>This is a topic that has no end. Illegal aliens are treated for any medical ailment for free. The taxpayers pay for it. If you are a legal resident without medical insurance or cash you will have a problem obtaining medical care. The laws are in favor of illegal aliens.

>I guess the illegal aliens only get inmediate care as would be the case for every american. It should be protected because of the oath of ???? (forgot the name, but is from a ancient greece doctor) they have to make before practicing. Sure hard to swallow, but unavoidable. Would you be more satisfied an alien dying on the road and nobody want to help him because he is an illegal alien?

I would not imply that medical care should be withheld when it is needed! But that is my point. We have 46 million legal residents without medical insurance in our country. If you are here illegaly you get medical care. Otherwise you have to have cash, do without or be lucky.

>>Illegal aliens cannot legally obtain a drivers license in California. You must have a driver’s license to have automobile insurance in our state. It is required by law to have automobile insurance if you drive a vehicle.

>>An aside – my family was involved in a very serious automobile accident caused by an illegal alien. After laying on the gurney for 14 hours in emergency the doctor told me that I was going to die. I am lucky to be here.

>But you have to wonder what the motives of your government are to do so little about the 'problem', if there is a problem. One thing I suspect, is that they don't want to much about the problem, because they are cheap labor and are important for economy.
