Is it any wonder townhall meetings are becoming so raucous?
Section 1221 (b) from H.R. 3200
Health Care Reform legislation now pending in Congress would require doctors and hospitals to provide interpreters and translation services free of charge to “non-English” (Translation: southern hemisphere illegal aliens) speaking patients.
That will add $billions to the cost of health care and give aliens, often illegal, even more incentive to continue pouring over our borders.
The “America’s Affordable Health Choices Act,” H.R. 3200, Section 1221 (b) says Medicare health care providers that fail to “substantially provide language services to limited English proficient beneficiaries” face severe fines and penalties.
This is outrageous. Medicare is already bankrupt. Now medical providers also will have to provide free translation services.
