“It would behoove every sick person in the world to high tail it over here as fast as they can crawl for that opportunity!”
Especially Mexico...here’s their ‘public option’ of healthcare...another joke!

[snip]Mexico still has a long way to go in terms of quality of care. Mexico only spends 6.2 percent of GDP on health care, about $97 billion, compared to 16 percent of GDP spent in the United States. That works out to $527 per each person a year compared to 7,290 in the United States.
There is one doctor to every 500 people in Mexico compared to one to 416 in the United States. Life expectancy is 76 years, two years lower than in the U.S. There are four main options for health care insurance. Just under half of people are expected to be covered under the people’s insurance plan put in place in 2004.
An employer based system currently serves 40 percent of the population that makes up the working class. Government workers have their own plan. Less than five percent of people pay for private health care. A fifth of Mexicans, the poorest, are exempt from paying for health insurance. After that one pays according to income. State and federal governments also contribute to the system. Health care quality and access vary dramatically depending on the state.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Poorer states tend to have more problems, longer lines, more complaints, more stock-outs (ph) of drugs, et cetera. Things have been progressively getting better, but this remains a big challenge for the system.
PILGRIM: Now despite the reform, inefficiencies remain. It’s estimated that Mexico loses more than $1 billion a year because of a lack of coordination among the different health care systems,
Mexico's healthcare: quality and access vary dramatically depending on the Mexican state. Mexico spends 6.2% of its GDP on health care, about $97B, compared to 16% of GDP spent in the US.....works out to $527 per person a year compared to 7,290 in the US. There is one doctor to every 500 people in Mexico compared to one to 416 in the US. Just under 1/2 of Mexicans are expected to be covered under the "people’s insurance plan" put in place in 2004. An employer based system currently serves 40% of the population that makes up the working class. Less than 5% pay for private health care. 1/5 of Mexicans, the poorest, are exempt from paying for health insurance. After that one pays according to income.

RIDING THE US GRAVY TRAIN An illegal alien w/ wife and five children violates our borders. He gets a job for $5.00 or 6.00/hour. At that wage, with six dependents, he pays no income tax, yet at the end of the year, he files an Income Tax Return to get an "earned income credit" of up to $3,200 scot-free. He qualifies for Section 8 housing and subsidized rent. He qualifies for food stamps, free (no deductible, no co-pay) health care. His children get free school breakfasts and lunches.. He qualifies for relief from high energy bills. > Their kids qualify for monthly SSI checks by faking ADD; the illegal and his wife get SSI if they can fake being aged, blind or disabled; SSI qualifies them for Medicare.
AND THAT'S UNDER ONE IDENTITY---- evidence shows each illegal has several identities--all of them on the US gravy train. Plus the illegal doesn't worry about pricey items like car insurance, life insurance, or homeowners insurance. And millions of illegal-owned stated income ALT-A mortgages that defaulted which American taxpayers are now footing the bill for.
