So the actual legal immigrants will have services cut thus will have join their illegal counterparts in using the much more expensive emergency care services that the taxpayers will have to pick up the tab as usual.
What’s the saying?: Cut your nose to spite your face.
Needless to say the article doesn’t mention illegal immigrants which is impossible to do when one mentions legal immigrants.
Do the math too. 40 million... for 31,000 LEGAL (cough, cough) legal immigrants. That is ~ $1300.00 for EACH immigrant per year. You have to assume a lot of those folks are families - if so, then you’re looking at a much higher per capita for these folks in “reduced care” then we have as citizens born here. If they had stuck with their original number of 130 million then it would have been $5200 per legal immigrant.
Oh... and the kicker is our rates went up... WAY up after the MA healthcare mandate. My health insurance went from $382/month (individual) to $542/month. Called Fallon (the insurer I have) and they said it’s all because of the new law. Nothing can be done about it - just pay it. You folks don’t know how bad it is with universal healthcare. We do.
