Yes illegals are uninsured. No denying. However so are many many US citizens.[/quote]
What’s the % of uninsured are US citizens vs illegals?[/quote]According to a Pew article a few months ago, there are approximately 12 million illegal immigrants in the US. Of that number roughly 7 million have no health insurance, out a total of 47 million without medical insurance. So approximately 15% of those without insurance are undocumented. Under the current house plan, undocumented residents would not be prohibited from buying insurance or receiving employer sponsored insurance benefits but would not be eligible for aid in doing so.

ParticipantDoes anybody have any data on how many people stay in their current job simply because of their healthcare? How much does employer-provided healthcare hinder worker mobility? Would you personally be more likely to search for a different job if your healthcare was not tied to your current employer?

There was a good article in last week’s USN&WP covering this issue. From that article:
Most workers—about 60 percent—get their health insurance through their employers, and as health premiums have spiraled, those benefits have become highly valuable to most. Nearly a quarter of top-performing employees said healthcare benefits were one of the top three reasons they would leave an employer, and two thirds said healthcare benefits were an important reason to stay with a company, according to a 2006 Watson Wyatt study. Last year, 78 percent of finance and accounting workers surveyed by the Mergis Group viewed healthcare benefits as “most crucial to retaining them.”
I looked for the actual Watson Wyatt study that the artical references, I couldn’t find it.
