What role has illegal immigration played in driving up the number of uninsured and the rising cost of health?
Q. What role has illegal immigration played in driving up the number of uninsured and the rising cost of health care for native-born Americans ?
Asked by THE GREATEST GODDESS JILL - Sat Oct 3 10:52:04 2009 - - 3 Answers - 1 Comments

A. Not much. Basically the cost of health care is driven by two major factors...insurance and threats of lawsuits by Americans. Insurance companies want to give less and ask for more every year. Drs. are forced to take heavy insurance to protect them from lawsuits. And the costs are passed on to you the consumer. Many of my colleagues especially the surgeons, are having a very difficult time reducing their costs while having to pay more and more every year on insurance.

Immigration is the movement of people from one nation-state to another. While human migration has existed throughout human history, immigration implies long-term permanent residence (and often eventual citizenship) by the immigrants.

Sourced

  • Treating human beings differently, simply because they were born on the opposite side of a national boundary, is hard to justify under any mainstream philosophical, religious or ethical theory.
  • The freedom to travel and to settle where one wishes, in pursuit of political freedom or economic opportunity, is among the most basic of human rights....The principal difference between the Irish peasants who once fled the potato blight on coffin ships, and the desperate Haitian rafters that our navy forcibly repatriates today, is bad timing.
