Good points above but call me old fashioned or just another white guy but...
If I have to speak several languages to put food on my table and clothes on my back while working in America then something is drastically wrong.
Lastly, what is the likelihood that the patient in question who doesn't speak English in the country they have been living for quite sometime has real insurance? In my short experience as a resident most people who fit this demographic don't. That's why they come to the resident clinic and can't see the guy/gal with 20+ years of experience.
It's not just the language barrier you would be dealing with but also each person's cultural background/ tendencies which can complicate patient care goals. You would need ample experience with these patient populations to understand their background. Not for me... I mean starting out it could give you a better chance at building a patient base.
