"What is less talked about is what undocumented immigrants pay into the health care system. New findings (PDF) suggest that this population contributes billions of dollars per year. The study, which looked specifically at Medicare, found that undocumented workers contributed $35.1 billion more between 2000 and 2011 than they received in care. Most pay taxes, but never become eligible for Medicare because of their status. Though undocumented immigrants rely on emergency and safety net services—not Medicare—for most of their health care, it’s worth noting that they are paying into and drawing out of the system at somewhat similar rates."
