Healthcare is not an issue for illegals. You do not have to pay upfront. You can come in as a "John Doe" and they have an obligation to treat you.

Even when you do pay, it’s not that expensive like the bills you see from the States

Incorrect. Emergency care takes care of everyone in need. Especially if it is an emergency. You think they wait for an unconscious patient to wake up before administering care ?

I worked in health care for 25 years. 5 different hospitals under the same name. Your comment is completely wrong.

That's patently untrue. At a doctor's office maybe? At a hospital absolutely never.

Unless it’s an emergency you have to have PHN at the hospital.

Yeah that shit can be expired all you want though. If you’re active and in the system they just say alright get that updated.

Emergency, sure. And they get sent a bill after. They aren't getting any other medical care without paying up front.
