"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."

Go over to the local welfare office here in Alamance County, North Carolina - about 1,100 miles from the border - and you'll see that half the posters and flyers in it are now in Spanish, something not done before seven years ago when the illegals first showed up here.

The welfare and health departments locally have even rented billboards in Spanish recently. The local hospital has half its literature in Spanish - only in the past seven years, after the illegals came to a county 1,100 miles from the border.

Get out of the Egyptian River.

Sorry. I thought you understood that there are more than 2 states, and basic mathematics. There are roughly 15 times more Medicare/Medicaid patients (at least) than there are illegal aliens. I have seen exactly 1 illegal alien here in Montana in my practice, in over 70,000 patient bills in the last 5 years. However, about 50% of those patients are medicare or medicaid.
