What type of mental gymnastics do you have to jump through to conclude that illegal immigration and unfair trade will lead to reduced healthcare costs for working class Americans? You can have one, but not the other.

As the number of illegal immigrants without healthcare pour through your open boarders, combined with the number of US citizens that lose their employer provided healthcare when their jobs are shipped over seas due to your unfair trade policies, the rolls of Medicaid will grow and grow. It's the same lie told by the Democrats and ObamaCare; just rebranded by Libertarians.

An actual free market will lead to reduced healthcare costs. We don't have that now.

The entire reason hordes of people are flooding into the US is because of the welfare state, which libertarians want to slash. The right kind of immigration is healthy and necessary for a free country. A "sink or swim" economy attracts immigrants with entrepreneurial spirit and work ethic. Unfortunately, we have a "sink or float on the backs of the swimmers" economy, which isn't sustainable.
