The laws don't apply in America if you're not American. ****ing awesome.
It's like universal diplomatic immunity.
That's a sweet gig.

By what metric?

The Health and Hospital Corporation (which runs Eskenazi) has financials that are publicly available.
http://www.hhcorp.org/hhc/images/budget/2018_HHC_Budget.pdf

Eskenazi overview is on page 5. (I tried to copy and paste but the formatting gets messed up.)

That portion has revenue of ~$600M and is projected to have a $4M "net income."

Who's money. It damned sure is not theirs. I mean those being treated.

Well, I'm glad we established that it's not a big deal. Open up those borders. 100% non purple.

Then you are the only one saying that seriously. Seriously.

It's not like it's destroying America or any real reason to be concerned.
It ranks pretty low on the ole scrotum pole

You don't know that.

(I edited my post based on other info that at least a health portion of it appears to be Obamacare money.)

And, if it is free treatment, but the company still turns a profit, why do you care?

Everything is not either a "0" or a "10" (or "11"). Perspective is important.

Of all the threats to "America" - you think they will be solved by a lack of borders?

(You said "100% non purple".)

Because we don’t get free treatment, and American citizens should come first in America?

 

[T.Lex]

Because we don’t get free treatment....

That's not true, either.

As I recall the law (which may have changed), a hospital cannot deny emergency care to a patient based on financial means to pay.

When you have a bunch of 2 or 3 they DO add up.

Which holes in the dyke get plugged?
Too many "small" problems that don't get addressed become a significant problem, you have to start somewhere.

ALSO Finger in the Dyke MIGHT have been a Stormy Daniels production but I can't be sure.

That is correct.

So in other words, if I work and have money I have earned I have to pay. But if I don’t work and have no money they can’t refuse to treat me? Hmmmm. I think I have a new career choice.

110%

You mean solved "with" borders?

I have some cousins that have made that same choice

There are... tradeoffs.

Really?

 

[T.Lex]

Really?

Yes, really. That's a real question.

The citizens of Marion County effectively endorsed a public-private partnership between the City/County and hospital. That's the HHC. It is partially a gov't entity and partially a (profitable) hospital. Everyone seems to be getting the benefit of the agreed upon bargain.

Can we at least hang the drug couriers?

Sure, as long as they're forcing people to take the drugs they're carrying.
