Quite probably.  Such preventive programs have been in place in many
cities.

But just like a buncha Real Murkens, she simply didn't.

Would you have been happier if she'd died in a fire, along with her
kids?

Do a google search on the word free and the phrase smoke detectors.

18 of the first twenty search returns will discuss it.

If you don't have one in your town, contact your local fire department
and they'll doubtless be able to put you in touch with someone who can
handle it.

There -- feel better now, dearie?

I learn something every day! I had no idea that a smoke detector could 
serve as a US visa. Who would have figured!

The question asked was whether or not American Citizens could also get
free smoke detectors.

The answer, clearly enough, is Yes -- they can.

>That "free" hospital emergency care is a real hoot too!

I'd never describe it as Free.  Never have.  But American Citizens can
also get it as well.

>Wish our people could go to Mejico and have babies for free...

Wish they Could or wish they Would?

There's a difference.

Precisely!  That was what was asked, and the answer is Yes -- American
Citizens can also get free smoke detectors.

>...we can "also" game the hospital emergency room
>and skip out on our bills too, right donny?

Well, in point of fact, you Can do that, though they can also attempt
to collect from you or your insurance.  But the initial Federal Act
that provided aid to hospitals ensured that No One -- that would be No
One At All -- would be turned away if they showed up at an emergency
room.

Which is arguably one of the great failings of not instituting some
sort of national health care plan, since those costs are way more than
they would be otherwise.

But can American Citizens be treated at an ER?  Yes indeed -- they
can.

>You stinking illegal loving piece of SHIT!

Them's the Facts, Jack.  You don't have to like them -- you merely
need to acknowledge that they are Factual.

Nope.  No ER in any hospital that has received Federal Aid under the
whatever-the-name of the act was, will fail to treat you if you show
up with an emergency.

All the personal invective you and your neuron can come up with won't
change the Fact of how this is done.

Gringogirl asked a question, without knowing the correct answer.

Now she does -- and so do you.

Deal with it.

Quite probably you can.  It's done regularly.

And that too.  Happens all the time, and in fact Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles has a category for uncollectible accounts to be
written off in, and the IRS honors such things as a business loss.

>You piece of SHIT fat assed gasbag, FUCK YOU!

Heh!

I love the sound of apoplexy in the morning.

If you get caught, that is.  No reason you should assume you will be,
if you are (a) reasonably clever and (b) spread some Joy with the
local federales.

Act stupid -- which I grant you is a CAPD for you -- and anything is
possible, though.

No one said that someone wouldn't get caught, garnisheed or harassed.

But there is a GAAP account that provides for such uncollected
accounts to be written off entirely.  The US Gubmint provides for it,
because it knows that it can happen.

What serves for the Mexicans as a US Visa really doesn't count now ,does 
it? What I'm interested in is why does "gringogirl's" Subject line read 
that the Mexican Consulates are handing out US visas and then all she
