If there are no illegals then no illegals will be covered: Really!

I get it! Why don't we just make health care free. Doesn't that mean there will then be an infinite supply of it? Right now due to laws on the book no emergency room can turn away someone untreated ... Gee who pays for that? Of course — you do in higher health care costs. Is that OK? I don't know. But what is not OK is government pretending it has a mandate to provide health care. Which line in the constitution provides for that? Health care is a personal good not a common good or something covered by the "general welfare" in the preamble, which by the way doesn't establish any powers whatsoever for the government. What we need is smaller government that lets us take care of ourselves. We can do it a lot better than they can.
