Most of these people are so proud to be American that they would never think of leaving. They truly believe that their country is the greatest and leaving to go live somewhere else would not even cross their mind. I think that they would have to be pretty desperate if they were to leave for free healthcare, and even then, i don't believe that most would go.

Remember, though, the health care isn't free--we pay for it through our taxes. That said, I am more than happy to pay taxes to ensure that people receive quality care when they need it, without fear of financial ruin.Sarah Lehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12888625789568300137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6963043125879677408.post-53929139067967880542013-02-25T08:20:20.452-08:002013-02-25T08:20:20.452-08:00I agree with you sami, but here's an example o... I agree with you sami, but here's an example of what Im trying to say, most Americans immigrate here because they can't afford healthcare, however, you are kind of right when you said, " they know they would be free, and that they would be safe or safer than where they were before".

I think that immigrants would come because they know they would be free, and that they would be safe or safer than where they were before. Free health care would just be like an added bonus.
