Last April, Carol Plato, director of services from Martin Memorial Medical Hospital, told members of Florida’s House Committee on State Affairs about the extreme financial burdens illegal immigrants have imposed on her hospital.
In the video, Plato testifies: “In 2001, we had a Guatemalan, an illegal patient in our hospital. He was there from 2001 and until 2003. He had over $1.5 million in health care services. We forcibly returned him to his home county of Guatemala at our own cost of $30,000. You ask why am I telling you about a case that happened in 2003? Because today that case is not over. We have spent and are spending up to a quarter of a million dollars in legal fees because his family here in the United States is suing us because they think it as inappropriate for us to return this illegal patient to his home country.”
She also reminds Florida lawmakers of the $100 million providing healthcare for illegal aliens in 2007. [Read full transcript at Townhall.com].

This lady stated a few examples of outrageous invader costs that are passed on to the taxpayers, and this was only one hospital…Imagine the TOTAL cost of health care across the country, it must be in the BILLIONS. I remember a cancer case a few years ago (in Atlanta) and the bill was over a million dollars. The invader who was treated ended up suing the hospital and even had help from the ACLU. ( I understand he was allowed to stay in the US & collect social security) We are killing ourselves with “compassion”.
The feminist liberals are killing us.
So the family of the Guatemalan who has already cost the hospital more than a million dollars is suing the hospital for having the bottom feeding leach deported.
If I had my way, I would round up all the family members, put some knots on the heads and boot marks on the asses of the adults for being so damn arrogant. Then deport all of them and tell them if they ever come back they will get life at hard labor in prison, “NO EXCEPTIONS”.
