Immigrant Workers Don't Hurt the Health System

Do people realize that in order to both fund the health care costs of an aging population and to offset the shared actuarial risk for the US population, we need more young and healthy workers?

Immigrant workers will not have a significant impact on increasing health care costs, as this Kaiser Foundation report states.

In fact, they'll actually be helping.

If you're against this, I sure hope you've got money to help pay for your own costs. If they paid for their own, their actuarial risk would be lower, and they'd actually get a better deal.

What pisses me off the most (beyond just immigration issues and health care) is that I think that there are a lot of latent racists that use these issues to justify or re-route their deeper sentiments.
