Medicaid spends 1 pct on illegal immigrants: study
By Will Dunham
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Less than 1 percent of Medicaid spending went to
health care for illegal immigrants, according to a study that the
researchers said defied a common belief that they are a bigger drain on
taxpayer money.
The study, published on Tuesday in the
Journal of the American Medical Association, used North Carolina as an
example to better understand how public funds are being used to treat
illegal immigrants.
"This challenges a fairly common public perception that somehow immigrants
are placing a very large burden on the Medicaid budget," lead researcher Dr.
Annette DuBard of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill told
reporters.

If they will stop telling lies about Democrats,
