Your ignorance of reality is showing.... ask people from California about 
the 0 medical and 0 government benefits. Also when was the last time you 
were in a hospital? Have you seen the little notice about not refusing 
emergency medical service even if a person can not pay for it? Or if you 
are in Louisiana, the services provided by the Mercy hospital system which 
is heavily subsidized by the state. Any way you cut it, those services 
drive up costs for those of us that do pay, either for medical services out 
of pocket, or insurances premiums, or for taxpayers in general.

I am making no stand as to whether it is good or bad that they are here, 
just that your broad brush generalization is in error.
