honorable representative pelosi,

in reading your press release in regards to the healthcare reform
bill, i see that this is nothing more than a democrat/republican issue
to you. as a person of neither of these affiliated parties, i'm
telling you you're dead wrong. let me lay it out for you.

"One of the great things about this country is that hospitals provide
care for anyone who walks through their doors. This legislation
fundamentally changes that by turning health care providers into
immigration enforcement officers."

while the hospitals do provide care for anyone who walks through the
door, there is the matter of money. you see, in the ugly brutal real
world, citizens in working professions expect money for services
performed. this is called commerce. perhaps you have heard of it?
it is going on as i type this.

now, if a person were to go to the hospital and not have said money to
pay for services, should they get treated anyways? a bleeding heart
compassionate human like yourself, you would say, OF COURSE! this is
regardless of the financial impact placed upon the citizens and
taxpayers of the state you represent. you don't seem to care that not
only do californians have to pay for their own health needs, now you
feel it is mandatory that we pay into a fund to provide care for those
who shouldn't be here and can't provide for themselves. this is
called socialism. this model is in use in places like canada and
france, which i might add, don't have the massive illegal immigration
numbers that california does. but that apparently doesn't matter to
you. if it's good enough for canada and france, then it's good enough
for you and those who vote you in, non?

this proposed legislation would not turn doctors and nurses into ICE
agents. that is a lie. why are you lying? in the process of getting
information about a patient, citizenship should be right up there with
insurance info. it's a yes or no question, nothing more. is that
being racist? is it evil and bad?

let me ask you this. if you were to get injured in mexico or
guatemala or china or wherever after entering their country illegally,
not having insurance or a means to pay for it, and expecting medical
care, do you think the medical facility will treat you and not then
have you arrested/imprisoned? look at it from the other side. are
you that delusional to believe that they wouldn't arrest/imprison you? so, why do we have
to play by a different set of rules than them? it's because of
do-gooders like yourself who consistently vote to allow people to get
things without paying for them. therefore, if i walk into a store,
should i just be able to take anything i want and leave without paying
for it, simply because i don't have the money? this is exactly what
you are saying it is okay to do by voting no on this bill. tell me
i'm wrong. justify your reasoning. i may try this and let the police
know that nancy pelosi endorses behavior to allow people to use
services without paying for them. but wait, that only works if i
enter the country illegally, using your position on this matter.

"Burdening hospitals and medical personnel with enforcing immigration
laws will hinder their ability to fulfill their primary mission -
tending to the sick and injured."

what about the burden placed on the medical staff having to tend to non life
threatening maladies of a person who doesn't know where else to go but the emergency room?
have you been to an emergency room lately? did you know in the state
you represent that there are more emergency rooms closing than
opening, due to FINANCIAL LOSSES of providing care for people who
can't pay for it? and all they have to do is ask a simple question,
ARE YOU A CITIZEN? yes or no. how is that going to add to the
burden? and to go one step beyond that, to get an identification from
the person to determine country of naturalized or indigenous origin.
is that crossing the line? is that invading people's privacy and
denying basic human rights? if anything, maybe this person might be
in a medical database on record with an allergy to something, so this
could save lives. but why bother looking at the issue without your
democrat badge. just keep on allowing people who aren't here legally
to get free services while natural born citizens have to pay for
themselves and the illegal people. this is blatant inequality,
something i'm sure you're against. yet you support it in this matter.
why?

"Hospital caregivers are already overburdened with paperwork, which
requires at least 30 minutes for every hour of patient care."

and congress endorsed regulations and fear of lawsuits in the judicial
branch have nothing to do with this, now do they? you're part of
government, therefore it's you're job to fix the problem. or so the
dumb masses think. i think you make too much money and don't work
hard enough for it. you come off sounding silly on this issue because
your compassion lies with those that break laws, but you probably
would like to abolish any immigration control and welcome all
impoverished people, just like back in the old days. well we're not
in the old days anymore. those ideals just can not work today in the
'new economy'.

"Hospitals would also be forced to allocate funding for new
non-medical equipment and personnel, diverting funds from patient
care."

how would they need to hire additional people to enforce this? and
what new equipment is required? you paint with a very broad brush.
you failed to add the following. "diverting funds from patient care
[for patients that pay for the services]." yes i'm back to no pay, no
play. you see, the funds available for patient care have to come from
somewhere, funds don't just magically replenish themselves. why not
start billing the governments of illegals to 'fund' their healthcare.
or would that make them mad? heaven forbid we make them mad. if
you're going to be this irrational, why not launch a bill to have
california norte secede from the estados unidos and join it's real
papa, the corrupt government of mexico. and if you try and tell me
the government of mexico isn't corrupt, you are a bold faced liar.

"Rather than force hospitals to create large immigration
bureaucracies, Republicans should focus on making health care more
affordable for the 44 million people who do not have health
insurance."

so what should the democrats do then? this obviously is not their
problem. to hell with your partisan whining. please shut your mouth
and do something, other than pander to a group who doesn't elect you
because they can't legally vote. and of those 44 million people
mentioned, i wonder how they would feel about paying taxes so that non
citizens get healthcare and they don't. but rather than look at that,
you choose the easy bipartisan route and point the finger at the
racist and evil republicans. you make your side look just as bad,
dear.

as for mexico's double standard immigration policy. how could you
support a country that allows murderers and rapists to have a safe
haven from american law, because we are barbaric and have the death
penalty for killers? do you invite illegal non citizen criminals to
attend your rallies? do you have over violent illegal felons for dinner? why
not? the typical 'democrat' stance on such issues is inaction,
because of fear of hurting someone's feelings. a mexican citizen can
shoot an american law enforcement officer, flee across the border and
we can't do anything to pull that trash out of mexico and kill the
worthless jerk. i don't see you pressuring vincente fox to hand these
people over. and then he expects us to just open our borders to allow
anyone from mexico to come over and be able to go back and forth as
they please, yet americans are hassled by the lawless federali's
mexico calls a police force. where's the two way street here? mexico
is a country where the 'ruling class' rob and steal to stay rich on
the backs of the poor. the poor are left to fend for themselves by a
government that could care less about their own citizens. and no,
america is not the same. there is no 'middle-class' in mexico.
mexico has very strict immigration controls. if you're a non-mexican
caught in mexico illegally, do you know what happens? they DEPORT
you! no questions asked. just bam! back to country of origin. so
they want it both ways. no immigration control from america, but they
can pick and choose who they want to deport. that's not fair to
america. but you don't care about all of that. it's just lies set
forth by the evil republicans right? no basis in fact or reality.

for you to say you care about any of this is nothing but lip service
until you actually make something happen. your happy global village
view is killing your state financially. maybe come back from
washington without an army of AP 'spin' soundbite reporters to make
your grandstanding look like the 'people's fight' and represent the
silent majority who do want better border protection, who do support
LEGAL immigration, and who don't wish to pay into a fund to provide
care for people who shouldn't be here. is that too much to ask? not
once do you make reference to the word illegal or even mention the
immigrants that place this burden on the system by not paying into it.
would you rather i call them 'potential votes for nancy pelosi'
instead?

i don't claim to have all the answers. i do know that you are wrong
on this particular subject, because you don't know what it's like. a
report won't tell you the california healthcare system is overburdened
with patients and rising costs due to illegal and uninsured patients.
the simple answer is to remove one of those two from the equation.
and here you are talking about the uninsured. just keep ignoring the
other problem. may you one day have to go to USC medical center for
an emergency. that's a nice way of saying 'i hope you die waiting for
care'. but you won't. you're the supposed social elite, the upper class, truly out of
touch with the working person and what drives them. peace, love,
socialism! right?

yours truly,

tehrawr, a california voter not in your district.
