So how is health care for illegal immigrants going to be paid? I can see a couple of problems.

All the Democrat Socialist candidates raised their hands during the debates, stating they would all pay for free health care for illegal immigrants, so now this becomes something we have to seriously consider. I understand that Medicare is now funded by taxes.

What I am seeing is a problem with limits.

The same candidates who want to provide free health care for illegal immigrants also don't want to limit the number of illegal immigrants who can just decide they want to live here, and come up through the the southern border, without end.

So basically, we're talking unlimited free health care for anyone and everyone in the world who just decides they want to live here. We are talking about people who, for the most part, can't speak English, and can't read and write English, and they will only be able to get the most low paying jobs because of that, if they can even find an employer willing to hire them.

The lowest wage earners will not be able to earn enough individually to pay in enough taxes to cover the cost of free Medicare for themselves, and they have definitely not been paying health care taxes into the system since their teens to cover the cost.

Portland, Maine, is now filled to bursting with a large number of African illegal immigrants. That particular lot feel very entitled, and began demanding their free benefits quite rudely the moment they arrived. People are coming to the southern border from all over the world expecting a free lunch.

At what point will the system crash due to overload?

I am only interested in polite and well thought out responses. Rude or abusive people, please do not respond.

What will happen is that your hospitals will run out of bed space and patients will face waiting lists longer than their expected lifespan as well as having to be housed in a storage closet when they are finally admitted to hospital because that's the only free space left.
