Congresswoman Jo Ann Davis has introduced legislation that would require that hospitals providing emergency care for illegal aliens be reimbursed with a portion of the foreign aid earmarked for the patient's country. She says "there's the hope with taking back money from those countries, they would then put pressure and be stricter on their borders and not allow so many illegeals come across."
Davis says under current law an illegal alien's hospital bill is paid for with U.S. healthcare funds. She says that's a "bad policy" and it should be paid for with funds designated from the illegal alien's country of origin where the responsibility lies.
Davis says there are over 8 million illegal aliens in the United States and health care treatment of these people imposes a substantial cost on medical providers and hospitals in many American communities.
She says these costs should be shouldered by these foreign countries, not with U.S. health care dollars.
