Washington Times Excerpt:
Health coverage swung widely by region, based partly on levels of unemployment. Massachusetts, with its universal coverage law, had fewer than 1 in 20 uninsured residents - the lowest in the nation. Texas had the highest share, at 1 in 4, largely because of illegal immigrants excluded from government-sponsored and employer-provided plans.
One in four? The
hard work of these “illegal” immigrants helped make Texas the twelfth largest economy in the world. How can the Texas business community get away with hiring illegal immigrants, confiscate part of their meager wages for taxes and Social Security and then deny these hard working people, health care? Have they no heart? Have they no soul? Texas makes
Al Capone look like a choir boy.
