With the amount most insured people pay in premiums, co-pays and deducatables, the increase in taxes would be a wash. If you want to continue to blame all the nations problems on some tomato pickers, be my guest. The fat cats at the insurance companies are more than happy to let somebody else take the blame. If all the illegals left tomorrow, it wouldn't save you a penny. In fact it would probably cost you more in dramatically higher food prices.
So maybe the solution is somewhere between Hillarys socialist ideas and insurance companies ? If you think eliminating insurance companies is the answer or eliminating PROFIT for them (same thing I guess) then what would we end up with ? Totally govt. controlled healthcare for ALL ? That we ALL pay for ?

But what is that ? Eliminating the free market and promoting socialism isn't it ?

You'd have us beleive the drag on our economy created by illegal immigration is actually a BOOST. - If you want to continue to blame all the nations problems on some tomato pickers, be my guest.

Or if not believe that, ignore it.

But it seems ignoring and redirecting are the main parts of this game you play.
