While most hispanics may be male, the women have kids like they vote in Chicago: early and often.

Some of that tendency is due to many of them being Catholic. Some of that is due to poor education. Some is due to poverty. Some is due to coming from countries where that is just accepted.

But the result is that a lot of Hispanics have or are generating families, and therefore they have medical needs. Which get addressed in emergency rooms at hospitals. Which is about the most expensive way it could be addressed.

I've seen people seriously suggest that universal health care could pay for itself in California simply by the fact that illegal aliens would get their health care more cheaply. It wouldn't hurt that that more of them would also get basic preventive health care.
