Your eloquence is unimpeachable. Your command of language is superior. But your fairness is a little
shaky (probably not intentional but a little careless never-the-less. I'm sure you'll agree that not
all the individuals of the groups you mentioned are ill hearted people). But if we want to speak in
that kind of blanket terminology, you left one group out - American citizens.
The atrocities we see in nursing homes and other healthcare venues is as much the fault
of the average American Joe as it is the fault of any illegal alien. Just differently
and more insidiously performed. The average American Joe or Jenny accepts the assumed
professionalism of nursing homes, hospitals, and doctors' offices without question.
They'll think about anything else -- how to plan a vacation, how to afford a luxury car,
how and where to invest their money to produce the most profitable returns -- but when
it comes to thinking about healthcare issues, the gray matter shuts down.
Why?
Because it's difficult and it takes sacrifice, especially if a loved one's life is at
stake. Sometimes career sacrifices must be made, in which a healthy person must give up
his aspirations to status and riches because such aspirations take away from the
considerable amount of thought and energy necessary for yanking a loved one from the
jaws of death, from brutal torture, and indifferent neglect. This is no joking matter.
Many Americans simply willfully blind themselves to the stupid mistakes and horrors of
the healthcare system so they don't have to change the routine of their lives, and they
use the idea that "professionals know best how to take care of my poor loved one" as a
blinder to hide behind so they don't have to face the guilt of making the selfish
decision to toss away their now costly loved one in favor of pursuing their dreams.
What they don't realize is that they can never completely fool themselves into believing
they did their best to save their spouse or parent, if they did not indeed do their
best. And what is loving someone if not doing your best to keep them healthy and free
from suffering?
Those who fight relentlessly in the jaws of death, refusing to give in right up to the
bitter end and even beyond, no matter how many doctors tell them nothing can be done to
save their loved one's life -- that 's love. This person will feel no guilt. And this
person will know that no amount of riches and fame could match the worth of a life,
especially the life of a cherished loved one. And furthermore this person will learn a
piece of divinity from his struggle to save her life, and from that he will know that in
the essence of things everything is all right. For our spirit, the real part of us,
never dies.

Quoted message said:Nursing homes in U.S. big cities are one of many safe havens for illegal aliens to make money as
nurses and aides while caring little for the elderly in their care.
These refuges from third and fourth world carribbean sesspools are arrogant, cold hearted and
incompetent. They use falsified documents to gain entry into health care training programs many of
which do not even require birth cirtificates, soc. sec. numbers or residency satus paperwork. Just
show them the money.
Many of these nursing schools and nurse-aide training programs cater to this unscrupulous
population of pagan interlopers. They blatently "group-cheat" their way through these programs.
And then your sick, helpless and suffering parent winds up in their grubby hands.
Hatians, Jamaicans, Trinidadians, Africans, Philipinas. They care nothing about and share nothing
about American cultural and traditional sensibilities of compassion, professionalism, and personal
accountability. They are a mongrel pagan voo-doo disease infiltrating American society and eroding
it from within.
They are your heath care experience of the future.
OUCH!!!!
