| Video: Illegals injured in SoCal wildfires cost hospitals mucho dinero |
| 2007-11-01 |
| HT: Hotair One of the many reasons that US health care is so expensive is that paying customers, whether they pay through insurance or their company pays through insurance or whether they’re subsidized through government programs, end up footing the bill for people who don’t pay a dime. And I’m not talking about uninsured Americans. I’m referring to illegal aliens — people who shouldn’t be here at all. Jurisdictions like Dallas County, TX have attempted to bill the Mexican government for the millions of health care dollars eaten up every year by illegal aliens. If hospitals aren’t reimbursed for these costs, and most aren’t, it ends up coming out of their budgets or it gets passed on to paying customers. The 11 illegal aliens so far who were injured in the SoCal wildfire will end up costing Californians a great deal of money. |

| #2 For the costs involved we could probably ship each of these guys down in a full paramedic truck then simply abandon it on the other side of the border and still come out saving money. |
