What the 'ell? What does he mean... "every time I go in to the ER "?
Just how often does he or his kids end up in the ER??

About 80% of illegal immigrants use the ER as their primary care
provider. You know, for the sniffles, for a common cold, for a
coughing infant, with fever, whatever.
It burdens the ERs with unnecessary treatments not to mention the high
cost since none of the users ever pay for ER visits.
The users of the ER know they will and have to be treated. Sure they
may wait a few hours, but since most don't work, or the mother is the
one who takes in the sick child, time is not important. This happens
at every county facility where large population of Mexicans live such
as LA, SF, SD, SJ, and smaller towns that line the border with Mexico.
I suppose they do not use their free health care because that would
mean having to travel back to Mexico which would mean having to cross
back north once again later. It's much easier, cheaper and quicker to
just go to the nearest ER and ask for treatment.
That's what my employees did over the years, so I speak from
experience.
