Competition promotes a higher quality product and service. If there is no competition, there is no reason to create a better product or better service. However, how the hospitals are forced to help illegal immigrants is unselfish, its wrong. We should be more selfish in that aspect. They get so many things for free and are let go of many other hassles that citizens have to deal with, because we aren't doing anything about it. It isn't fair for people who immigrated to the country legal, or people born here. Especially knowing that they're getting all these free things from my money. I'm paying for it. I hate knowing that part of my paycheck, about 30%, is being taken out to pay for their shit. I'd rather see it being used elsewhere. They say they came here to live a better life. That's cool, come over here legally, because your making our lives worse! And because you may have a bad life, doesn't mean they can do whatever they want. I'm tired of paying for their shit.

Woah, everybody deserves medical treatment, illegal immigrant or not. I think what you just said is incredibly selfish and you know that. They are humans just like you, and just because they have come into a country to escape the hell that's in theres, doesn't mean they shouldn't be treated equally. They are no different to you - you're all living, breathing humans, and they deserve the same quality of life you are entitled to. Where you end up is luck of the draw, you just happen to be lucky in that you were born there so you can get it. Others aren't as lucky as you. I don't care about paying taxes for them too because they've probably gone through way more hell than I'll ever go through. If I was in their situation I would be completely grateful if I was able to get medical treatment too.
