It is apparent you have still not yet read the study. The MEPS data used in the study has certain known limitations whic the authors describe openly and fully. Various acceptable statistical and methodological workarounds to those limitations were used, and are detailed by the studies authors. The data was quite clear and very robust: in the period studied, health expenditures were substantially lower for immigrants than for US born persons. Anyone with even a casual knowledge of the US health care system should not be shocked or in your case, alarmed by this finding. It may come as a surprise for you, but preventive services (that is my specialty) are not the money savers that we all dreamed they might be, especially up front.health care costs are NOT skyrocketting because of ER treatment costs....try things like MRI scans , lipitor prescriptions, and the like. DO you think a group of unisured immigrants are consuming lots of lipitor and viagra and getting MRI's of their weekend knee injuries? Look, I am not here to try and change your xenophobia
