The implications of this are extremely significant with regard to the urban hospitals. are they not. especially where there are major groupings of urban hospitals that primarily take care of the poor. the disadvantaged and many of the immigrants as well? We find situations where even though there are relatives and other members of the family that might be able to participate in helping to offset the costs. an increasing number of people are becoming uninsured. through no fault of their own. Therefore. their relatives do not have the ability to extend the coverage to these individuals. That is taking place among immigrants who are here legally. And in many instances. sponsors have abandoned them. even though they have a responsibility toward the immigrants they sponsor. and these immigrants are really left holding the bag. As a result. the urban hospitals and health providers will be left holding the bag as well. Does the Senator agree with me that without the Senators amendment. there will be extreme additional stress placed on the health care providers. particularly in some of the neediest areas of the country?
