California Fires' Illegal Burn Victims

From Digger, we learn that 18 people are currently being treated at the University of California - San Diego burn center after sustaining burns in the recent series of Southern California fires. Most are not Americans.

Of these 18, 11 are illegal aliens from Mexico, four of which are in critical condition.

These burn victims will cost the US taxpayers a combined minimum of around $500,000 if their stay is the average of 15-days, but in this case doctors say they will be there longer. Then there is the continued care costs, which could last months or years, after that.

Meanwhile the other 7 people in the burn unit will have to shell out their payment themselves and woe to them if they don't have insurance, because their financial futures will be destroyed.

So the only people not worrying about their expensive medical care are the Mexicans in the U.S. illegally. Much more at the link.
