One Way Not to Control Swine Flu

Some counties in the United States have voters who do not want undocumented and/or illegals to be given emergency health care. Admittedly treatment in “Emergency Rooms” at hospitals is dramatically more costly than treatment at a clinic or doctor’s office, however, those without health care have no option. Only at an emergency clinic can they garner treatment.

So when the Swine Flu reaches epidemic proportions in the United States, as most experts predict will happen, (not deaths necessarily but infected citizens) all the people with the lowest paying jobs in the country will not be able to be treated.  

They also won’t be able to stay home from work because they desperately need the work.  Many of these will be people who work in the “service” industry; i.e. waiters and waitresses, cooks and busboys, housecleaners and baby-sitters. These are the invisible people who serve the rest of us every day. 

Does that make sense?
