Can chemotherapy be considered emergency care?
And if so, why should we have to pay for it for illegals? |

You hear of people all the time not being able to get the treatment they need because the insurance companies won't pay, or they don't have insurance at all.
Yet people are upset because the Federal Government said Medicaid won't pay for chemotherapy for illegals? WTF!?!?!?! | |
