The US already has millions coming here every year and 22 million already here illegally along with their descendants. Universal health care is just another economic incentive to come here. A vial of insulin costs 9 times more here than Canada. It makes no sense to give economic incentives to come here and then pay 9 times more for their health care.

There are 2 SEPERATE problems here. One is illegal immigration and too much legal also. I would agree with that. Universap Health Care is the 2nd issue. It fixes the problem of health care and keeps prices down. That's what Medicate and the V.A. health system do. It should be made universal. The other post incorrectly blended the 2 problems. Yes, there COULD be blending of the 2 problems. But, it does NOT have to be that way. It WORKS in Europe. The US is a magnet for illegals because rich people and corporations (like in Las Vegas) desire slave-like workers at very low wages. That is a problem that drags all aspects of America downward-toward Venezuela like 3rd world status.
