we can’t stop the invasion. there are illegal immigrants pouring into this country. they don’t have a lot of money. instead of having a family doctor or GP, every time they get sick they run to the local emergency room. the ER charges about 2000 dollars for the visit. the poor immigrants do not pay their bill. therefore, the cost of that visit is passed on to all the other taxpayers who are in this country. this is why it is so damn expensive to have health insurance. this is why doctors charge so damn much. the rest of us are covering for the people who are poor and can’t pay. but, what are we going to do? Let the people die? we are a civilized country with civilized people living here. we’re not going to deny anyone care even if they cannot pay. unfortunately, this means that there are millions of foreigners outside of our borders who know this and are attracted to this. they want to come here for a better life. yeah, a better life… at who’s expense?
