Democrat congressman from Ohio has introduced innovative legislation that would require foreign countries to reimburse American taxpayers for the exorbitant medical expenses of illegal immigrants.

Appropriately titled, PAYBACK Act (Preventing All Your Bucks from Aiding non-Citizens is Key), the measure would save the U.S. government billions of dollars annually and ensure that taxpayer dollars are not used to fund health care services for illegal immigrants, according to its author, U.S. Representative Zack Space.

Medical bills for illegal aliens would be passed along to their country of origin, according to the proposed law, which was introduced in the House this month. The government would mostly collect by deducting the cost of illegal immigrants’ healthcare from the foreign aid their home countries would normally get from the U.S.

If the U.S. does not offer foreign assistance the country would get billed for 110% of the medical costs. In the case where illegal immigrants are from nation’s to whom the U.S. owes money, the cost of medically treating their citizens would be reduced from the debt. The money would be applied to strengthening border security. “It is fundamentally unfair and outrageous to foot the bill for immigrants unlawfully in the United States,” said Space, who has represented Ohio’s 18th congressional district since 2007.

U.S. taxpayers spend tens of billions of dollars annually to provide free medical care for illegal immigrants with states that border Mexico taking the biggest hit. The expense has become so unbearable in California—long an illegal alien sanctuary—that several municipalities eliminated the perk this year to save tens of millions of dollars in the midst of the state’s dire financial crisis.

Adding to the problem is the fact that Mexico, the country that provides the largest amount of illegal immigrants in the U.S., has long promoted America’s generous public health centers. It even operates a Spanish-language program (Ventanillas de Salud, Health Windows) in about a dozen U.S. cities that refers its nationals—living in the country illegally—to clinics where they can get free medical care without being turned over to immigration authorities.

Um mm I bet I know how this one is going to answered.Lets see, if your of hispanic heritage you are getting your panties in a knot about right now.I think if we could do this with just Mexico think of the money we would save.It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know that most of our illegal problems comes south of the border.I think its a grand idea and would love for it to pass BUT why cant our govt just say …hay if your illegal don’t expect a dime of help in any way shape or form for you or your anchor babies so if you come here do it at your own risk because you’ve been warned.

I think so.Only God can bless,not the persons command,and especially not after a person releases snot.I think its a stupid Habit.Who agrees?

even in other languages!In Spanish its "Salud" which means "health" basically its Health to you.Only God gives you Health.

I don’t do that, and I never respond to it. Even though I am Christian, I find the practice annoying. My soul isn’t coming out of my nose. I often sneeze when I am alone, and I am still alive.

Oh, I didn’t think of it like that. I guess it could be a left over custom from the plague or something.

Those listed are the German, Spanish, English that I know - but I’m half Scotch-Irish and want to have something different to say.

The Irish version is ‘Dia Linn’ pronounced dee-a ling meaning ‘God bless us’
