(cont'd.)
 I believe our providing free medical care to foreigners is one of the biggest drains on our finances, and contributes to the higher prices that everyone else (or their insurer) needs to pay.  (I was specifically told this by hospital personnel when I questioned the bill following my last auto accident.)  And children should not get Medicaid automatically at birth.  They should be put on their parents' health-care insurance plan, as each person is required to have that, by law.  

(The above comments do not apply to emergency, life-saving care provided in emergency rooms, but people should NOT be allowed to use ERs for non-emergency care, or as a substitute for health insurance.)
