Florida passed a law requiring hospitals to publicize the costs of unpaid care for migrants, and the reports thus far show that the loss to the state’s hospitals is a massive $566 million just in 2024 — and taxpayers are picking up much of that loss.

According to the reporting website, the estimated costs to care for illegal aliens have totaled more than $566 million to date.
AND THAT IS ONLY ONE STATE OF FIFTY!!!!!!!
NOW ADD IN HOUSING, FOOD, TRANSLATION SERVICES, EDUCATION X 50.
All that for some ‘farm workers’. Nice investment, huh?
Many countries are sending those who will NEVER work and many who will only overburden our law enforcement , hospitals and prisons.
THIS is the main reason we are going bankrupt.
So amazing - just forcing them to reveal this is a huge start.
In a small hospital outside of Atlanta, there are two older women, who have nowhere to go and, for some reason, can’t be released. But, apparently they do not require hospital care.
So, they basically live in the hospital as if it were an apartment with no bills.
So IOW they cause $1.5 trillion nationwide.
This was written in 2016:
The CERTAIN Destruction Of Our Nation

“Last year the Federal Government spent $1,417 billion dollars out of $3,854 billion, or 37% of every dollar it spent, on Medicare and Medicaid. This was a 9.3% increase over last year’s expenditure of $1,296,731 (million), all-in.
But inside this figure are even-more damning numbers.
Payments to the health care trust funds were up 13.4% (!)
Spending on CHIP, the plan for poor kids, rose last year by an astounding 56%. While the total spent was only $14.3 billion that rate of rise is utterly astronomical by anyone’s measure.
Don’t believe for a second that administrative expenses are under control, which is a claim often made for Medicare and Medicaid: They were up 32% last year for the primary hospital insurance trust fund. No, that’s not a misprint.
Hospital benefit payments for Medicare? Up 8.4% — the bright spot, believe it or not.
Medicare Part “D” (drugs)? Sit down: Up 26.2% to a total of $95.2 billion.
Folks, at this rate of change within the next four years Medicare and Medicaid will consume just over $2,000 billion a year, or $2 trillion — an increase of $600 billion a year in spending.”
In other words, even in the absence of illegals, medical costs alone will bankrupt the nation. It’s not opinion, it’s math.
Send the bills to Joe
Also how are the illegal aliens getting healthcare without paying while they are at the hospital etc ???
Americans cant just walk out without paying
Send the bill to Mayorkas, obozo, and Biden.
But it’s free....
Biden, due to the complacency of silent Republicans, has been allowed to ruin America without interference.
California too - leading to ERs and urgent care facilities closing. The one near me closed - the last time I went there (my daughter needed a clearance to return to school and that’s where I was sent) - the place was loaded with what looked like illegals and their children, so many they spilled outside the building and were sitting all over the steps.
Drove past a few months later and the place was closed down.
I understand this is happening all up and down the state, and will happen in Florida soon b/c treating so many people for free is not sustainable.
