This is really simple to understand. We have many millions of poor illegal immigrants in our country. They simply don’t have insurance and don’t pay their medical bills as as we are forced to pay their tab of hundreds of billions of dollars per year.
This impoverished and uneducated alien group is also involved in all manner of criminal enterprises and suffer many more drug overdoses, stabbing and gunshot wounds than citizens or documented resident aliens. The same is true for their accelerated and astronomical birth rate.
The strain on our medical providers and the medical insurance companies is beyond enormous. Lastly, nothing prevents people who can’t or won’t pay medical bills or illegal aliens from making medical malpractice claims or filing lawsuits against care providers.
If we removed the trespassing aliens. Americans and legal aliens could well afford insurance.

Maternity wards are full of them.
Then there's the contagious diseases that they bring over here.
Actually the list of illegal alien health problems is way too big for this one blog piece.
There is nothing wrong with Congress that dumpping the whole lot would not cure.
So how is this going to differ if we have government healthcare? It will bankrupt the country, put hospitals and people out of work, and create huge shortages of provider care.
Oh and did you know the IRS will be running and policing healthcare? It's in the bill!
I thank God (and my employer) for the good medical insurance my family enjoys. I work hard, pay in my own part, and we don't waste that coverage on needless visits. But when something serious comes up, we are very glad to have it.
There is no doubt that I got more "care" and more "treatment" from the hospital and doctors because of that good insurance. They were making up for the lack of payments for other patients, I'm sure.
And somewhere there are some illegals smirking about the good medical care they received in a hospital's Emergency Room for which they paid nothing.
Would an occasional "Muchas Gracias" be asking too much?
