I agree Julie. We have to pay high cost for health care even though we are on a fixed income. We can't afford to be without it and can barley afford to have it. Just think of all the money that could have gone to our health care that has been spent in iraq. Helen
I am Hispanic and live very close to the TX/Mexico border. We have the illegal problem like you wouldn't believe!! And yes, it puts a huge burden on our health care because illegals have babies here and suddenly they are eligible for ALL kinds of benefits that "I", as a poor, single mother of 2 couldn't get 25 yrs ago. I nickle & dimed myself all along, raising my kids on my meager secretary's salary, never having enough, but making "too much", according to US guidelines. It really sucks! That's why when my 21 y.o. daughter found herself alone & pregnant 3 yrs ago, I told her to get every single benefit that she would qualify for. I figure that if I have paid 4K in taxes for the past 25 yrs, I have paid almost 100K to Uncle Sam and my daughter should get just a little bit back.
