Dialysis for Illegal Aliens Puts Strain on Hospitals The AP covers the controversy over providing dialysis to illegal alien patients in Georiga. "The treatment typically costs $40,000 to $50,000 a year, and [Atlanta's Grady Hospital] is just one of the struggling public hospitals cutting the service to reduce costs. Many indigent dialysis patients, including Kaur, are illegal immigrants, so facilities that give them routine treatments receive no federal money for their care. . . 'When you have long-term health conditions that need continuing care, the government needs to send these people back to their countries,' said Ira Mehlman, spokesman for the Federation for American Immigration Reform, which favors tougher immigration enforcement. 'They cannot expect the taxpayer is going to endlessly pick up the tab.'" |
