Line up and take a number:

Better be careful what you say to a medical or mental
health care person from now on...lest you get caught up
in some future "total informational" hysteria your good
uncle Sam and his minions may fall prey to in years to come.

Note to MOD: Please correct title of thread. Should be
MENTAL health, not MEDICAL health. Thanks.

Hi StLouis,

Will this new regulation prevent illegal aliens getting healthcare?

Not sure if I should ask this question here but I am curious (as a UK citizen).

Hi,

I have no idea how this will play out with regards to
illegal residents in the US. However, IIRC, some states
have laws on the books mandating benefits to such folks,
so I would guess the answer to your question is no.
