The above is a summary of this article. I believe the most important fact is that Emergency Medicaid Services represent less than 1% of all Medicaid costs. A secondary important finding is that most of the costs are due to pregnancy.
Political correctness requires the term "undocumented Immigrants" instead of "illegal aliens." Further, as usual, everyone besides "Hispanics" are classified as to race or ethnic/national origion but somehow we classify these folks by their language.

Childbirth and its complications accounted for 82% of the Emergency Medicaid Service expenditures and 92% of all hospitalizations. Over the four years seniors and the disabled, however, had increased costs.And now all those families are eligible for other welfare because they now have US Citizen children. 'Jackpot babies' as Terry Anderson calls them.
And this is North Carolina? Think of the costs along the border. North Carolinians should have listened to Californians a long time ago.

About 48 thousand individuals received care under emergency Medicaid services. 99% of the population was "undocumented" and 93% were Hispanic.
Those are some really damning statistics. So 99% of 48 thousand were illegal aliens.
sheesh

They are illegal aliens and criminals, most of them posing a great danger for the future of this country. Their sense of entitlement borders is similar to that of sociopaths, many refusing to learn the language and demanding services in their native language. Hardly any of the will improve our gene pool.
BTW, I read somewhere - don't know if it true - but to gain residence in the Bahamas, you have to buy a house worth half a million dollars. Something for us to consider.

I guess when it was only CA and a few other border states that had this problem thirty years ago it wasn't much of a a problem.

Still, that's only about $28.00/week per patient; just wait until they all start school.

"About 48 thousand individuals received care under emergency Medicaid services. 99% of the population was "undocumented" and 93% were Hispanic. 95% were female and 89% in the 29-40 year old age group. Emergency Medicaid Services represented less than one per cent of total Medicaid expenses. Over the four years such costs increased 28% but overall costs for Medicaid in this time frame increased 35%."

Emergency Medicaid Services represented less than one per cent of total Medicaid expenses.Wow. It sounds like illegals aren't the big cost here, doesn't it? Our elected officials are taking us to the cleaners on behalf of shiftless citizens.

And the same with schools, I'm sure. The arrival of illegal alien families is a fairly new phenomenon, but the schools have been addicted to money and insulated from accountability and competition for a long, long, time.

To: Constitution Day
The district is in the process of developing a zero-base budget under the directive of first-year Superinten- dent Dr. Craig Witherspoon. The format wipes the slate clean from the previous year's budget and asks all schools and departments to come up with funding requests from scratch. That's a good step, if it works.
Union Schools' finances are a mess, too. The eastern part of the county blames illegals, while the western part blames new subdivisions. Both positions are absurd; the system simply swallows money, no matter how much they get.

About 48 thousand individuals received care... Only 48,000?
Judging from the numbers of illegal aliens undocumented immigrants swarming the streets of my county, most of those 48,000 must come from here.
