Hmm...

Let's do some math. But let's do it Chron style.

The Center for Studying Health System Change analyzed about 46,000 people in 12 communities. They discovered that communities with high numbers of uninsured and immigrant residents tended to have lower rates of emergency-room use, while those with low numbers of uninsured and immigrant residents tended to have higher rates. In doing so, they've killed the argument that denying hospital access to illegal immigrants will improve our pitiable health-care system.

Let's see. Because a number is smaller than some other number, subtracting it won't change anything. That makes sense.

so all those immigrants that create 8-hour waiting periods at Oakland emergency rooms are a figment of my imagination?
