Hispanics, especially those of Mexican ancestry, have the highest uninsured rate. They also have the best infant and maternal mortality rate. And at the other end they have the best longevity rate.

Is there any relationship between health and insurance?

100% of people on Medicaid have insurance and they have the worst mortality rate.

Is there are relationship between health and insurance?

When we completely repatriate all of the illegal aliens we will find we have much less of a problem.

Illegals are dropping their insurance?

The AP loves debasing the English language. Notice that everywhere they use the word "immigrants" they actually mean "illegal aliens".

Legitimate immigrants have nothing to fear and are welcomed to our country. But criminal border jumpers are not "immigrants". They are criminals. They are illegal aliens and have no business participating in our health care marketplace.

An estimated 27.5 million people, or 8.5% of the population, lacked coverage the entire year.

We probably have that many illegals in our country. They should go back south and die there. Why should our citizens pay to keep them alive? They spread disease and use our medical resources while we pay the bills. Out, already.

“”They also have the best infant and maternal mortality rate. “”

Huh? Where did you get that from?

I’m surprised they didn’t blame it on global warming.

Bottom line Obamacare is an obvious failure.

I believe it.

If illegals are afraid to be on the map they will avoid health insurance.

That’s a GOOD thing as they shouldn’t be getting it.

If we repatriate all the invaders, won’t we miss these hand-wringing, bed wetting, the-sky-is-falling, teeth-gnashing articles? What will we have to fill FR with and discuss?

Or, people realized their mandatory Obama care was a scam that was in effect worthless.

That's real interesting. Maybe strong immune systems are real useful for staying alive.

That being said, there do seem to be more people than ever who benefit from their health care and are living into their 90s. It's been said that baby boomers and younger are getting less healthy, every generation.

Maybe older people who lived and still live a healthy life style benefit from medical care, but those who were brought up over-medicated and over-vaccinated won't do as well. JMHO

Illegals often live in families with legal immigrants and citizens. Legal adult immigrants can be on Medicaid and SSI. Anchor babies can be on CHIPS, Kidcare, Peachcare or whatever your state calls it.

Of all demograaphic groups, those of Mexican ancestry have the lowest participation rate in welfare programs for which they qualify. Social workers are constantly having seminars on : How to reach the underserved .... translated how do we convince Mexicans to discard that chauvinism that says the man should provide and letting the government do it is an attack on his masculinity. Usually chauvinism is labeled a European cancer on the Noble Savages of the New World.

It has nothing to do with illegals, and everything to do with getting rid of the OBAMACARE MANDATE. Add to that the cost of monthly premiums, high deductibles. I told my healthy mid-20’s daughter to drop her insurance and should an accident happen, I will cover her bills.

On the contrary those of Mexican ancestry (legal and illegal) have the best infant and thematernal mortality rate. At the other end they have the best longevity rate. Mexicans are very, very healthy. One reason employers like them is that they rarely take a sick day.

Of course, in millions of them, we can find the execption to the rule.

Every healthcare statistic from hospitals, coroner’s offices, insurance companies, the CDC,conservative and liberal think tanks agrees on this.

As 3rd generation Mexicans are assimilated into becoming Americans, they lose the edge when they lose the Mexican culture.

If only those underserved people knew what was in their own self interest.
