This is a little dishonest scheme Democrats are playing. The fact is illegal immigrants do not get insurance benefits directly. They go ingot hospitals, emergency care centers and other providers set up specifically to provide them with health care, without insurance. When they don't pay for their medical bills, the providers get reimbursed by Medicare/Medicaid. In other words, the rest of us pay their medical bills. Hospitals are required to treat these people if them come in as emergencies. But not reimbursing the hospitals, the hospitals will have to raise prices for everyone else, which in turn will drive up the costs to all of our insurance providers. That will get passed along to us.
There is only one answer for this problem and it is not to continue reimbursing for illegals' medical care. The solution is to close the border and deport illegals who are a financial burden on our system.
And by the way, there is another option, let the states reimburse these expenses if they choose. California, NY and other blue states that declared themselves sanctuary states will be most affected because they allowed illegals to settle in their jurisdictions and they passed laws allowing them to use medical providers in the states for free.
