Ray Eston Smith Jr asked:

(1) Health care workers are, as part of their job, exposed to much more flu than most people.

(2) Health care workers come into contact with other people who are extremely vulnerable to catching and possibly dying from the flu.

(3) Health care workers should, above all, do no harm.

KENNETH W asked:


I understand many people do not want illegal aliens to have medical care. What happens if an alien has a serious contagious disease that could spread to the population at large? I know those with insurance would have their ailment cured but wouldn’t it be better if those with insurance did not get sick and are only sick because an illegal alien was denied health care?

Kristen G asked:


I moved into an apartment three months ago and have since found out that the young man who was the last tenant of the apartment died IN the apartment. I do not know how or where he died in the apartment, only that he was in his early twenties. Could there be any health risks for me living here?
