In short, over 50,000 illegal aliens are in the state plan, with it costing taxpayers over $35M. Not just MA taxpayers, *everyone*.

The figures show 69 percent of the state’s MassHealth Limited subscribers are illegal immigrants. The state is projected to pay $13.7 million of the cost of the health-care program this year, while federal Medicaid picks up the other $22 million.

So the next time some "advocate" says that illegal immigration doesn't cost anything - point them there.
