Immigrants Face Life Decisions Without Health Insurance

The people who are illegal immigrants in U.S don’t have access to long-term medical expenses. As a result to pay up for such expenses they need to go in for selling of products. There are many safety advocates who proposed the broadening of such issue but there is a stiff opposition on this issue. One of the individual named Castillo received a transplant a year ago but as he was a illegal immigrant he had to pay for the expenses.

But the advantage he had was being a student in medical college he got a year free for medicines but the bill for the last prescription drug was due which needed to be paid up by him. The immigration activists states that it is immortal for hospitals and doctors to deny people who are seriously ill only taking into consideration their legal status. But the tougher ones says that if they allow such laws then it would lead to more and more of illegal immigrants into the state.

This issue has become very much sensitive which emphasizes on usage of illegal immigrants facilities. Recently under the Federal laws, the illegal immigrants are allowed to take only emergency health care while covering uninsured children.

There are lot of concerns regarding financial burden which has lead to hospitals making decisions for denying the treatment.

So the concern for the immigrants is to make the decisions which should be done for their insurance.
