The idea comes from their being a law that no one can be turned away from the ER for being unable to pay. They usually just send you a huge bill later. They argue that undocumented workers are more likely to have a fake DL in their pocket or a fake social security number so they are more likely to get away with it.
My American cousins have said they’ve honestly thought of saying they didn’t have their wallet and give them a fake name when they went in for just that reason, but they chickened out being uncertain what would happen if they got caught.
I have a "friend’ who did it with a broken arm. 10 years on no clap back.
They just write that stuff off. Put on grubby cloths and rub a little dirt on yourself so you look borderline homeless. Tell them your between addresses when asked.
Here I was thinking we didn’t have a social safety net here. Just have to be dishonest and immoral to get it, which is how everything works in the US, so it makes sense.

“Get away with it” is really disgusting in this context.
It’s the billionaire’s world, the rest of us are just getting away with living on it.
Its humanities world and we are allowing them to be the way they are.
