Why do people keep spreading the myth that illegal immigrants receive free medical care?

Pregnant illegal immigrants qualify in most states but only for the pregnancy period.

Answer:
You know what if you can't afford to have kids you should keep it in your god dam pants or cross your legs,
i'm not trying to sound hateful, but they do get free health care. hospitals are closing down because of them. it's not their fault. it's the fault of our govt for not doing something about illegal immigration. we have to many here. i salute bush for doing a crappy job.
It isn't a myth, it is fact.

Because the gov. to date isn't cross checking their computers to verify information given. Little if anything is being done to verify any of the paperwork being given to them - esp if that person is Hispanic. I know this for a FACT since I suggested for an American Indian friend to go to welfare because while she is waiting to go thru the process to get on SSI. She has no income coming in at all. No medical at all. When she went to the office and was spoken to in Spanish and her telling them that she was not Hispanic and didn't understand them, was told, "Your white, you don't need any help" - there is a marked problem with the system (all this happened in Texas).

Maybe such isn't happening where you live. But then where you live evidently isn't like what others around me that have needed help and couldn't get it while illegals are.

It is because of this that I believe that there should be cross checking of all gov. computers to verify information given. Heck, even a simple online background check would be better than what they are doing now - or a credit check to verify given information with what they have given.
That simply isn't true. 80 emergency rooms have closed in California in large part due to this problem.

However, even if it were 'just' births, that birth is a huge cost alone, and leads to a 'new citizen' who, if the parent wouldn't pay for delivery, seems more likely than most to end up on food stamps, aid to family with dependant children (a loophole so the 'family' of the new citizen gets money).
