A study published today in the International Journal of Health Services finds that immigrants use far less health care than non-immigrants, and may actually subsidize the care of U.S. citizens.

Who'd a thunk it? I mean you may have been told it about a thousand times, but still, it shocked me, with this bit in particular.
"Immigrants have been blamed for a range of problems plaguing the U.S., including health care costs," said study author Lila Flavin, a medical student at Tufts University School of Medicine. "But studies demonstrate that immigrants are propping up the Medicare Trust Fund by paying much more into Medicare than they will ever receive in benefits. Recent immigrants are substantially healthier than native-born Americans, which benefits the American health care economy. But to maintain their health over the long term, new immigrants -- and all Americans -- need access to good health care. Denying care to immigrants is a human rights violation that cannot be justified based on costs, and indeed may raise costs in the future."
Why did no one (ever) try and tell us this????

I see sir Jim Ratcliffe Britain’s richest man and a pro-Brexit supporter is relocating to Monaco , seems reasonable.
I bet they didn't ask Alex Jones for that survey though.

If cannot see the double standards mate, well.
maybe he is leaving as the brexit he wanted is not the one the chequers agreement portrays - still there are more rich individuals wanting to remain in fact seeking donations to the cause - double standards - democrocy should overrule
I would be happy out of the polictical union and just a free trade deal with a massive reduced non membership donation,and let the UK strike out worldwide - we need to build our manufacturing back up less the EU 4 freedoms
not a soft or hard brexit a common sense middle of the road departure -The EU don't want the why because we will go on to better things.......
hence the punishment wheres Winston Churchill or Harold Wilson when you need them........

Right. As if it's just like flipping off a light switch, and nothing has otherwise changed in 45 years.
I'm the sure the subcontinent will be most amused when we turn up to announce we're restoring the Empire.
