I review medical claims everyday for our members. And I was just told by our UR dept that one member who is a foreigner only in this country a short while was admitted to the hosp in Quarantine becuase he has something that was picked up in his country.

We see several of these cases a month

Its not fair. Call it inhumane call it what you want but laws need to be tightened and people need to be screened more. Immigrants should be tested for tb, baterical disease before they leave the airport. They need to be monitored

Im so freaking skeeved out because I serviced that shop only a month ago and came into contact with this man.

Im not paranoid but many of these diseases are airborne

Whew!!! I guess I'm glad I wasn't on all day! This made for some rather interesting reading while the Yankees were blowing the World Series!!!

My only comment is that I am a bit surprised at the level of intolerance from some of the LIW ladies. We all have immigrants somewhere in our background!

May I just say something?One thing I immediatelly thought of when I read this: How the h**l do you drive with the burka on? I imagined myself driving throught the streets of Queens with my head covered in thick black fabric and OMG, there wouldn't be one live person anywhere in site!

I can barely keep the car in control as it is! Than again, i just got my licence a few months ago! May be after a few years of practice... Well the woman sure does get a lot of credit for driving around in such hazardous conditions!

FYI for those who care:
Sultaana Freeman, an American convert to Islam, refused to take off her face-covering veil for a driver's license photo. The state refused to issue her a license. She sued. On June 6, an Orange County Circuit Court judge ruled reasonably enough that Freeman had been unreasonable. Florida's Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1998 requires government to 'not substantially burden' religious expression except when the state has no other choice.
Judge Janet Thorpe argued that Freeman had to remove her veil because the tenets of her beliefs are suspect because in light of the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, 'it is a different world than it was 20-25 years ago,' when some states did allow pictureless driver's licenses and most specious of all, that the driver's license is primarily an ID card and law enforcement tool rather than proof of an individual's ability to drive. For those reasons, Freeman had to submit to the government's orders or go without license.
