we have to present our health cards before we can get service (which illegal residents cannot get)

i assume they could go to the emergency room though and still get seen.

 

Person: "I would like a health services card please"

State worker: "What's your SS#"

Person: "123-45-6789"

State worker: "Are you an American citizen?"

Person: "Yes"

State worker : "Here is your health card. Have a nice day"

That's not just Califonia.  40 states run on self decleration.  7 More conditionally allow it.

Self Decleration of citizenship for Medicare is the rule more then the exception.  Workers can challenge it if they feel the declaration is suspicious.  Though many don't for a number of reasons... I mean it's a bunch of work to possibly be called a racist.

Some information.

It's really not a matter of will they though so much as should they if your taking on healthcare as a responsibility.
