It would be interesting to know what a basic health insurance 80/20 policy premium a legal resident of that county has to pay to get the same "care" these socialist PAC groups want to "give" to illegals, and calculate what percentage of the legal resident's taxes should be refunded back to them...
Perhaps more low income legal residents could actually afford health insurance, if they were not already paying via taxation schemes for illegal aliens, and various slackers and socialists medical care.
Is it possible insurance premiums would decrease for everyone, regardless of income level, if fewer numbers of government mandated programs designed to unfairly benefit the "we are criminals, and we don't have to pay for anything" recipients, were mandated to be served?
What additional cutting edge health care treatments would our wounded and disabled military veterans receive if these PAC groups cared a whit about our constitution?
Just a few thoughts, as I fly naked(without health insurance) because I can't afford the COBRA premiums, and it is another 60 days before I am eligible to pay a $500.00 a month premium for a plan with a 5K annual deductible before any benefits kick in.

No doubt rates would lower if everyone would receiving "free" health care paid their fair share. I've toyed with the idea of what the value of a tax refund(for recovered subsidized health care) would be myself. I do realize that there will always be a certain percentage of people who cannot pay for a multitude of valid reasons. I'm okay with that. But for citizens of another country sneak into this country and take these benefits which they are not entitled to, then I have a problem. One of the biggest inflationary factors in high health care costs is, of course, excessive litigation. But that's a whole 'nother subject.

I'm uninsured as well currently and have been for a couple of years. I was misdiagnosed with a rare blood disorder two years ago, and have been informed that even though the dx was erroneous, I must wait three years before they can underwrite me. I'm self-employed(in the health care industry!) and have been paying out of pocket for my medical expenses for two years now. Fortunately, this hasn't amounted to much as I'm actually quite healthy.
