Actually, hospitals report that illegal aliens make up only around 15% of the total uninsured patients they see.
The last estimates I saw were up to 12 million illegals in the entire country, and that number has been going DOWN with the recession, while there are up to 53 million uninsured Americans, which will certainly go UP as more jobs are lost.
If you want to know who gets free medical care, talk to police, firefighters, public servants, military, the old, the young, and my personal favorite…convicted felons serving time in prison. (including the terrorists being held at Gitmo).
