The Federal Medicare

The EMTALA act states that every hospital that enjoys the federal Medicareis obligedto provide emergency care to all patients, without any attention tostatusof theimmigrantor hispositionto pay for the services offered. Astoundingly enough, the national hospital in Guatemala, where Mr. Jimenezwas deportedto, was not capable of providing the services Mr. Jimenez required. This prompted the Guatemala hospital toreleasehim to his aging mother’shilltophousewith one room. Thehomewas situatedin the reserve Mountains of Cuchumatan, where he has lays in bed, regularly suffering the sudden occurrence of thediseaseand away from accessing emergency care in the home.

Lack ofkeengovernment oversight on illegal repatriation has led to various economic and policy issues. It isduetothe poorgovernment policies that officials in hospitals have denied poor individuals access to better health care.The policies on federal funding should be revised to cater for the health bills of immigrants, who may not be in apositiontoraisethe medication fee.Secondly, the United States is not vigilant in the implementation of traffic laws that should cub malpractices on the roads. After a precise look into the cause of Mr. Jimenez predicaments, the cause is theroadcarnage. A drunk driver caused the accident in which Mr. Jimenez suffered damage to the brain and other physical injuries.

The cause of the accident necessitates the need for policy reforms in the traffic department. If there aredefinitepolicies addressing such issues, then need to change heads at themanagementandsupervisionat thetrafficdepartmentisinevitable. In the case of Mr. Jimenez, the damages caused by himare not compensated, this is a clearwarningthat insurance policies are not in force, or there could be high rates ofcorruptionpractices that have culminated in asituationwhere victims of risksare not compensated. Had Mr. Jimenez been compensated he was to have been in a betterpositionof paying his medical expenses at the Martin Memorial hospital. Courtroomsare adjudgedto institutions of administering justice in every corner of the world.

In the case of Mr. Luiz Jimenez, his guardian tries to get a lower court order yields no fruits, and the hospital is capable of deporting Mr. Jimenez to Guatemala. Concisely, the United States policies that solemnlylimitimmigrant eligibility for publicly financed health care have led to hospitalsengagementin the illegal medical repatriations of critically ill ordestituteimmigrantsickpeople to countries missing appropriate medicalattention. This policy is void, since it is inconsistent of the universal Declaration of human rights’ requirements on the United States. Thepolicyalso contravenes the international convention on civil and political rights.
