    Illegal Aliens are Causing Sharp Rise in Medical Costs

    The really inconvenient truth…illegal aliens are causing sharp rise in medical costs

    American citizens paying the bills for illegal aliens

    Anthem Blue Cross of California recently unveiled rate increases of between 25 and 39 percent. While Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) and President Obama have both condemned the enormous rate hike, neither of them would, at least publicly, speculate as to the real reason behind the increase.

    Arrowhead Regional Medical Center’s chief financial officer, Frank Arambula, recently told The San Bernardino County Sun that about 1,400 illegal aliens visit his hospital’s emergency room every year.

    According to Arambula, in 2006, illegal aliens left unpaid bills totaling $9 million, in 2008, that figure swelled to $18 million. The federal government only reimburses the hospital for about $5 million, leaving the rest for hospital administrators to worry about.

    Of course, while the illegal aliens may be the ones actually incurring, and leaving behind the unpaid bills, those medical services are not free and the costs are ultimately passed along to the paying customers, resulting in higher insurance premiums.

    According to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, between 2003-2008, healthcare premiums in California rose 30 percent for single policy holders, and 35 percent for families.

    During that same period, healthcare premiums in Arizona rose 31 percent for singles, and 37 percent for families.

    In 2008, the average annual cost of health insurance for a family in California was $12,254, and in Arizona it was $12,292. Both states have been inundated with illegal aliens.

    Just like American citizens, illegal aliens get sick, they get injured, and they give birth. However, unlike most American citizens, illegal aliens do not pay any portion of their medical bills. Many use fake or stolen Social Security numbers, as well as aliases and move back and forth across our unprotected without detection.

    Hospitals are not the federal government, therefore they cannot simply print money out of thin air to cover their expenses. So, all of the bills left unpaid by this country’s illegal aliens are being paid by the rest of us through higher premiums, as well as through our federal and state income taxes.

    Though President Obama will never mention this hard truth, if we simply ordered all illegal aliens out of the country and deported the ones who refused the order, as well as place our military along the border…Healthcare costs would stop rising and could even drop.

    We do not need a government takeover of the best healthcare system in the world, nor do we need an amnesty bill for illegal aliens (a.k.a Comprehensive Immigration Reform), we only need to defend our border and expel those here illegally.

    It’s really very simple…Put an end to illegal immigration, and you put an end to the ‘healthcare crisis.’

    You are so right. I see it every day with more and more people speaking out whom you know have felt this for a long time but who are just now getting their nerve up to let their voice be heard.

    If you put an end to illegal immigration, you get rid of a whole mess of problems, and a cost of $346 billion a year to taxpayers.

    Exactly! Where are our politicians? Hiding like snakes in the grass from the truth about illegal immigration where they've been for the past 10 years, the cowardly reptiles.

    Illegal aliens are causing

    OBAMACARE promises NOT TO COVER ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. How will this solve the problem of unpaid medical expenses??????
    Is it simply to shift all the associated costs of illegal immigration to all legal taxpayers?

    Sounds like a scam to me and honest hard working American citizens can go to jail if they refuse to pay for everyone else.
