Healthcare for Illegal Immigrants

So, I was in one of the NYC hospitals that we rotate through the other day, and I saw a poster hanging on the wall with the exact words "We don't care about your immigration status, we care about your health...to get health services at little or no cost, call this number.." So, we have millions of uninsured legal citizens in this coutry, but we are providing healthcare at "little or no cost" to illegal immigrants!? Where is this money coming from to pay for this!? Obviously it is not coming from the immigrants themselves..even if they have jobs, they are not paying taxes. I can understand if they have something that is contagious, and is a threat to the larger population, but routine care should not be covered! I see it all the time...families flying in grandma from their home country, and bringing her to the hospital to get free care. They might want to consider this problem when putting together a healthcare reform bill. If it was possible, I would be all for legalizing the hardworking illegal immigrants and having them pay taxes while kicking out all the lazies living off of welfare and Medicaid while finding new excuses not to work..but since this will never be a reality, we need to figure something out. Unfortunately real healthcare reform can not happen overnight. Pushing for something to pass quickly is not the solution. The president and legislators need to do their research to find the real problems and ways to fix them.
