Research:Today, more than forty-seven million Americans have no health care

insurance. A crucial issue that seems to have no positive outcome in today s

financial system.Facing the issue on how patients without health insurance can be

treated for emergency care; hospitals are now making it mandatory for patients to

get charged to their credit cards. Ultimately lowering personal balances and leading

to future bankruptcy. With the anxiety forAmerican patients who are or aren t

insured paying for illegal immigrants; is not only lowering the relationship and time

with doctors, but having us compensate for their illegal residency. Why should they

be able to live the same life as American citizens, if they don t have to pay the same

equality for health care insurance? According to the New York Times Four of every

ten physicians report that their patients have had problems with coordination of

their care in the last 12 months due to the number of uninsured patients waiting for

hospital care. Currently, more than sixty percent of patients aren t receiving the

medical care they are paying for. This is only sky rocketing each day! Regardless of

whether American citizens are insured, the United States continues to have high

spending rates only becoming progressively worse with our economy.

voice he tells Kimberly that he needs his prescriptions to be passed at the pharmacy,

to be able to function throughout the days. I can see sadness in Kimberly s eyes

feeling sorrow for the old man. She phones Dr. G and informs the older gentleman

that he will be personally directed through a precise system to assist him of any

medical needs or concerns he has.

Next in line the four Mexican men step up and accidently speak to Kimberly

in a different lingo, catching himself halfway in the first sentence. With a kind and

sweet accent the man tells Kimberly I have just come to the States six months ago,

this is my first visit to a health facility. This being a tough situation for Kimberly to

take care of herself; she page s Samantha H. head nurse and hand for international

patients. Once Samantha arrives and understands the circumstances she tells the

men Depending on how the medical services you need, I can t immediately assist

you, before other patients who have been waiting their turn. Although today

illegalized citizens are perceived as one of two things: nationalists (people having no

right to have benefits as an illegal citizen) or humanists (seeing that they can have

admission to health care.) The men look at her still confused, misunderstanding

what she is saying and show her their credit cards pointing. Samantha apologizes

You re so patient Kim. I honestlydon t know what we d do without you here, since

the staff has been so limited. The men are soon directed back to their seating,

where they have to wait with the rest of the patients before them. According to

C enter for Immigration Studies There are 14.5 million immigrants and their U.S.-

born children (under 18) who lack health insurance. They account for 31.9 percent

of the entire uninsured population. Immigrants and their children are 16.8 percent

of the nation s total population. Learning about these new informative statistics

and the possible new health care bill;our government is still trying to figure out

whetherwe are reliable to pay for other illegal immigrants as a nation or let them

fend for themselves and be a true U.S citizen?

As time passed and the night went on, I noticed that the number of nurses

that has been there earlier was even smaller than the previous hour. Kimberly tells

me that there is a shortage of nurses on all the shifts, requiring her to work overtime

while others go home to their families. Being young, and still not married I don t

mind so much the extra work time; but I m worried that the hospital may get too

comfortable having me and some of the other nurses working over time; instead of

hiring. Kimberly is just as concerned as any another person would be. With the

concern of Medicated, the New Health Care Bill trying to be passed, how senior

citizens are going to be able to pay for their needed remedy, and how illegal

immigrants are going to be able to get away with paying no medical care. These are

all questions concerned Americans wait, parallel to patients in the waiting room of

the Montgomery Regional Hospital.
