Our government willingly spends money to care for illegals, that they won't spend on us. Of course we don't really need it.
The reason is about 99% of hospitals base their nonprofit status on the fact that they are "philanthropic", and they serve to defray the cost of government.
As soon as you start accepting federal government stipends, you are no longer defrahing the cost of government.
Rest assured that dutiful bureaucrats throughout the federal government will be keeping their eyes on how this plays out.
