Congress voted to give $1 billion to hospitals over the next four years to supplement the cost of caring for uninsured immigrants.

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 hospitals and other medical facilities that accept that $1,000,000 will at the same time endanger their own nonprofit mailing privileges and probably their nonprofit status with IRS.

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.
