But I'm sure that's different in the bigger cities.
I don't doubt that at all.

Natives generally are seen in greater numbers in the health care system, whether that is due to higher rates of alcohol/substance abuse. The people who generally treat the hospital/health care system like a revolving door are generally homeless, contribute nothing to society (in terms of taxes at least) and come in because they treat their bodies like crap. Alcohol/drug abuse and obesity issues cause a huge backlog in the workings of a health care system. Millions of dollars are spent on treating patients who will go outside and proceed to kill themselves with god knows what 5 minutes after they leave the hospital grounds.
You want to start pointing fingers at people and that is where to start in my opinion.
