Medscape polled physicians:
According to the March 3 edition of The New York Times, last
year, 20 states proposed about 80 bills that would cut
noncitizens' access to healthcare or other services or would
compel benefit agencies to report applicants with
immigration violations. Do you approve or disapprove of this
type of immigration policy?
Over 61% of the physicians polled approved of such
legislation. What my physician friend found so unusual was
that the majority supported *reporting* illegal immigrant
applicants.
Doctors know what an extreme burden the illegals are putting
on the system, so it's not surprising they would support the
legislation denying access. But that extra step of reporting
the illegals is something physicians have previously avoided.
