Hi Krystine! The county clinic here in Sarasota has a policy of discouraging US citizen participation in favor of dedicating itself to the "illegal's" care. If you are native US the eligibility rules are enforced by the book, if you are illegal you need no documents, just come right in and see the doctor. As far as I can see it was a staff decision. It is nearly impossible to even discuss this with the local elected officials who always have bigger fish to fry. I did get to speak to one State rep about it, who didn't do anything but listen. -- Regards, Pete http://www.pete-theisen.com/ _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
