The main scope of my rebuttal will be to prove that immigrants are not the burden on healthcare that people say they are. That the cheap labour they provide allow us to have many luxuries that we all take for granted. I think that the people that try to claim healthcare is expensive because Mexicans go to the emergency room are ill informed and have failed to research the subject properly. There are many people more than willing to propagate spurious rumors with little or no basis in fact. And more people who are willing to believe them.
Obviously there are many intertwined issues here, healthcare, immigration, terrorism. I will try to keep on track and just rebut one small slice of the pie so you can worry about something else.
I believe those that are not insured are a small part of the big picture. Take for instance the hospitals themselves. Many of them are over charging for things as small as a tylenol. And 9 times out of 10, when your detailed bill arrives, you or your insurance company has been charged for services and or products you never received, thus adding to high rates for healthcare. I agree with you that it is kind of a trade off when it comes to illegals providing cheap labor in trade for healthcare. However, they should also be held accountable for some of the healthcare issues we face. All it is,is everyone trying to hold someone else accountable, when in fact, it is government and insurance companies that keep healthcare in such a shamble.
