Where Can an Alien Get Free Health Care?
We've heard from a State Senator in Wisconsin that the planned, "Healthy Wisconsin" universal health care plan that is slated for the next budget will NOT exclude illegal aliens. What this means is that the cost for Social Security to local employers will jump 4 percent. Payroll tax would be 10 percent.
However, the same draft of "Healthy Wisconsin" states that there will be a 12 month waiting period for non-residents. This means that if you show up from out of state and want in on the universal health care, you won't be eligible. But again we were told that no one in Wisconsin would be turned down.
Obviously they have some wrinkles to iron out.
If in fact no one would be turned down, residents of neighboring states, like Minnesota would simply drive over the border and check into a hospital or clinic.
The illegal alien subject was brought up and no one said they would be refused. This means once the word gets out - if "Healthy Wisconsin" does become law there - thousand of illegal aliens will make there way to Wisconsin to receive free health care.
It is true that anywhere you go for necessary health care in this country, you won't be turned away. The problem with being an illegal alien is that once you receive treatment - you better hope that you have enough to pay for it. Once billed, you will be sought for payment. And then you may be subject to further investigation.
Certainly, this isn't the way that people seeking immigration to the United States want things to happen - but if you are without proper documentation - this will be one red flag for the authorities.
We are not sure if they ask for immigrant status at hospitals, but they most likely don't. It's just not the way America works.
Law enforcement... that's another case.
