"It isn't half the hit hospitals and health care providers take when they provide medicare and medicaid services at 30-50 percent of cost."

Get real. Due to the extreme ghettoization of immigrants - particularly illegals - in just a few states, this is drowning those states' hospitals and health-care systems.

It's why Kalifornia now has many public hospitals shutting down - because half the illegals in the entire U.S. live there!

I'm not discounting the effects of illegal immegration, only pointing out that welfare state medical programs are far, far more costly to health care providers. How do I know? I am one. The illegals, to be sure, compound the problem in border states.
