Taxpayers footing the bills for illegal immigrants - Danbury Hospital - Connecticut - (Yes, this is important but it is only part of the equation. It is like balancing your checkbook without every including your deposits)

But how much does it really cost Danbury Hospital to care for illegal aliens? Opponents of illegal immigration have not been able to cite actual figures until now. Team 8 has obtained a financial statement from Danbury Hospital and it shows that in the first two quarters of last year, they treated a total of 321 aliens at a cost of almost $4-million.

Only three of those patients were covered by insurance and only one paid their $7,722 bill in full. State aid, meaning taxpayers, paid over 71-percent of the tab, or about $2.5 million.”*
