Well, that's the main reason most Americans are bankrupt, or in financial straits. The medical industry. But if you aren't an American Citizen, with no ID, or even speak the language, you can get your medical for free, since the hospitals and clinics can't refuse service by Federal Law. And that's why the medical costs are through the roof. Somebody has to pay for the freebies, and it's the good hardworking citizens that get stuck holding the bill. As usual again.
I totally agree... We're so involved with helping the "poor, huddled masses" illegally crossing our borders that we're putting Mr. and Mrs. Middle Class in the poor house themselves.

My wife and I have "living wills" due to the inconvenient fact that health care is so expensive... There's no way I'll have my wife saddled with the health care costs I'd incur... Even heart surgery, which has become common practice can wipe out a lifetime of savings...
