The curious thing...this is just for emergency medical services. You can figure anywhere from $2k (for a sprained ankle visit at the emergency room) to $100k (for a serious gunshot wound). So if you did some estimations here...from these 55k illegals...there’s probably only 1,200 of them that ever went to the emergency room for that year. The vast majority are just like the rest of us....they put some Bactine on the wound, and bandaged it up.

If the state of Mass...or President Obama in his efforts...had simply targeted the expense of medical care as being the number one issue...then we’d all be spending alot less on visits, drugs, and long-term care. This is the true problem of our mess today...the political dimwits won’t look at real costs....they just want us all to share in the cost misery more than what we used to.

A lot of these types go to the emergency room every time they get a head cold. I live in L.A., so I’ve got some anecdotal data.
