I work in Health Care around the city and I doubt that any of you have any idea just how much money goes for the health care of illegal aliens.
And it is because of federal laws. Any person that shows up in an ER that needs care MUST be seen or that ER that turns them away can lose medicare funding. These people have very little healthcare in the countries that they come from and generally have serious issues that cost lots of money. I laugh when people say that they are afraid the new Public Healthcare will be funding Illegal Aliens. I've got news folks, we already are paying for it. Much of the problem lies not in the green card holder, but the 50 of his closest family members that follow. Workman's comp takes care of the worker, but the other family members are taken care of by you and I.
In essence, we all pay premiums on our healthcare insurance and pay for everyone else. I am dedicated to taking care of sick people, but isn't it time Mexico, China, and all the other countries sending us their poor and sick start to subsidize these people? The illegals are a big part of the healthcare problem. Laws need to be changed.
