More and more hospitals are closing because of treating people who have no insurance and never pay.

Yes, isn't it true that three hospitals in California, catering mostly to an indigent/immigrant population, closed last year? And the administrators at Maricopa in your state are extremely stressed; there's been talk of closing it too unless there's some federal assistance.

People in this country need to wake up. The costs of caring for everybody in Central and South America at American standards of care is more than the taxpayers of this country can possibly afford. These people are NOT contributing enough in taxes to repay the government for their own medical care, and they certainly don't pay the hospitals. We have enough healthcare problems in this country without inviting millions of indigents here.

It's one of the many hidden costs of illegal immigration that people choose to ignore. Fact is we could afford to pay more for fruits and vegetables if we were not paying for the healthcare, schooling, crimes, etc., that come with the workers who "do jobs no one else wants to do." /s
