How does a government facilitate comprehensive care for its constituents without sacrificing equity?
This question brings up many mixed emotions. I think it is a wonderful thing that our country has the opportunity to give assistance to those who need it. What I do disagree with is that there are many illegal immigrants that get free assistance and do not pay taxes while people like my grandma who is 76 years old and still working today who has to support illegal immigrants and barely gets any assistance. What about the women in this country that keep having babies, when they could use proper protection to avoid it? This is why this question brings up many emotions for me. Don’t get me wrong I love that I live in a country that is free and supportive, but I believe we need to give assistance to the elderly who have lived in this country all their life and worked hard their entire life, and give assistance to those who try to be better citizens.

After participating in this week’s discussion I wanted to do some more research on how much money our government spends on illegal aliens. I came across a report from the GAO Government website and it states how much money goes into funding hospitals and support of health care for the “illegal aliens.” One part of the article talks about bad debt that has incurred by non-paying patients. I find it astonishing how much money our country spends on illegal immigrants and many people born in the U. S. are losing everything they worked hard for. Here is the link to the article as well as the reference to finding many more articles.
Should the government continue to help illegal immigrants or should the focus be shifted on provide more help to those who are born a U.S. citizen?
