Another article with a false premise. Hispanics, especially Mexican immigrants, have the best maternal and infant mortality rate, the best longevity at the other end. Hispanics, especially Mexican immigrants, both legal and illegal and anchor babies, have the highest rate of uninsured of any demographic group.

Fact: There is no correlation between Health (absence of illness) and Insurance (mis-labeled Healthcare). There certainly is no causation. Are Those who are paid to be in the "concern industry" are concerned that a group is proving them wrong on their basic premise?

The left want us to put a huge sign on the border that says “Anyone that wants free health care- come here- we’ll go broke treating you since your own country won’t. Just come here, get treated to the tune of 10’s of 1000’s of dollars, and then stay- don’t worry about the cost- it’s free”

“Access” is a code word for taxpayer paid stuff. No one is prohibited from getting health care.

If you go to Canada and get sick there, they send you a bill for treatment costs incurred in a Canadian hospital.

But Democrats think foreign free riders are cool. Go figure.

This is insane. Take care of American born first.
It is not cold to say we can’t take care of everyone

“To reduce maternal mortality and infant mortality,”

If all these mothers and infants are really dying in Georgia, why isn’t the news-backed up with statistics-out there for everyone to see? Insurance is NOT “healthcare”, a 19 year old is NOT a child-and this article is just another false plea for giving taxpayer funded stuff ti mojados/illegals who don’t have any right to even be here...

So she assures Georgia taxpayers that the state won’t have to pay the cost of tens of thousands more takers in PeachCare, since the federal government will pay 67%.
Who does she think pays the cost for the federal government’s obligation? There is no free lunch, madam. Every dollar comes from American taxpayers, most of them from Middle Class wage earners who have absolutely no obligation to pay for anyone’s children but their own.

There are plenty of pay-per-service walk-in health clinics.
Flat fee for the visit, plus a few dollars extra for each lab test.

When I didn’t have ins, I went to a Dr only when needed, & paid about $120-140 each time.
That’s way better than a $900 mo premium x 12 mos when when only needed Dr 2x per yr.

Never, ever did I take my kids to the ER for an earache or tetanus shot. We went to the clinic & paid cash.

In fact, many privately owned clinics will charge self-paying patients up to 40% less than insured, due to savings on insurance billing.

Relatively healthy persons need not pay 1000s for annual premiums, nor should the taxpayers be subsidizing the insurance companies.

Here in Washington state, children under 18 and pregnant women automatically qualify for Medicaid - regardless of legal status.

Children under 18 also qualify for full dental care, K-12 schooling, and free lunch (and breakfast, if available) at school - once again, regardless of legal status.

Also - Seattle, King County, and my affluent suburban city, do not report illegal alien criminals to ICE.

I sure hope that free stuff is only for people in need (or get paid in cash and drive fancy cars). Otherwise I’d feel like an idiot not cashing in on that stuff - especially the free dental.

Not running to the Dr. every other day is precisely why they enjoy better health. If the Dr.s don’t pump you full of unneeded meds they scare you to death.

From what I’ve read, Mexico won’t even let you leave the country until your hospital bill is paid

We need to send Mexico the bill for taking care of their parasites. We’ll take the Baja Peninsula (sans current residents) as an installment.
