Good luck if this idiot wants any kind of health care without any foreigners. @ least 50 %
of the people taking care of me were not born in America or were 1st generation Americans.
From Africans, people from the Caribbean, Asians … both of the Drs. doing the scope work
down my throat were either from Indian had or Paki backgrounds, I had a Ukrainian nurse, a Polish
G.P., and an Irish guy doing something.
