You misunderstand, it has nothing to do with what the real numbers are, RobMac's numbers came from the census and the census ONLY uses the # of illegals that participated in the census. So, the other 20 million or whatever simply don't count towards those numbers.
But once universal health care gets passed all illegals will be in it not just the ones that filled out a survey. So I stand by my statement that only 5% of americans are uninsured and they are should be shit out of luck and hope a good charity will help them out when they get hurt or sick.

Yes I know I pay in to a public system. I pay in to a public system that I do not qualify to receive any bennifits for. I wish I didn't have to. Fuck them. If they wanted to drop costs stop subsidizing the poor and the old. Do you think that a single shot of a bone marrow producing drug would cost $2200 if the government was not writing a check to the drug companies? Hell no. That should would be more affordable because no one could pay for it by themselves.

As for my employment perk: I do not pay for it other than my $602.40. Everything else is paid for by our customers. I pay for our customers insurance when I do business with them. That is called capitalism. I know it is a different concept than your socialistic mind migh have never seen but I am here to help.
