I might mention. somebody said we are just talking about a few hundred people per year who want to come into the United States who test HIV positive. If we change this policy. that figure will multiply manyfold. Today we have blood tests before immigrants come into this country. If they test positive they come in. but on a short waiver. for a short period of time. If we change this policy we are going to have countless thousands of people who will want to emigrate to the United States. knowing we have quality health care and knowing we will take care of them. Uncle Sam will take care of them. the taxpayers will take care of them at enormous expense. in my opinion. to health care for countless thousands who do not have health insurance. countless people who are right now struggling to pay their health care bills. This will only overburden that system as well.
