"without contributing to the base cost of the system" indicates otherwise.
That indicates the belief that they do not pay taxes. Hypothetically... If people are in this country illegally, but still pay more in taxes than they receive in aid, aren't they a net positive on the balance sheet?  Previous Message so long as they are receiving taxpayer funding. It they 100% financed their own healthcare on their own dime, then "healthcare for illegals" wouldn't be an issue. What is at issue is that taxpayers are covering part or all of the cost for healthcare of people that legally have no right to be in this country. Previous Message Than they pay into the system? And that they do not pay taxes at all? Previous Message
The prices on the exchanges are subsidized by tax dollars. It's an American tax payer funded system they are being allowed to participate in, without contributing to the base cost of the system.
