From a very long list of grievances that illegal aliens are responsible for in this country, Arizona's Senator Jon Kyl lays out the huge costs and burdens that illegal aliens are placing on our healthcare system:
...The estimated annual cost to hospitals and other providers of emergency health care nationwide for illegal aliens is $1.45 billion. According to congressionally-commissioned research from the MTG Corporation, the annual cost to just the 24 counties along the border in Texas, New Mexico and California exceeds $200 million, and for Arizona's four border counties alone it's $32 million per year.
These unreimbursed costs, and other health-related issues, have put Arizona hospitals in a state of dire fiscal emergency. As a result, some have closed, or are in danger of having to close their emergency rooms and other services.
We have had hospital and emergency room closures here due to unpaid medical bills from illegals that cross the border for health care reasons...
...afterwards, they go back to Mexico and leave us to foot the bill...
...ain't it interesting...THEY'RE fine...THEY got medical care...and we get closed medical facilities...
