I am confused how illegal aliens impacts socialized health care.

Using the Canadian system as an example, if you don't have a health care card or your number hasn't previously been entered at the clinic/hospital you are at, you can't get service unless it is an emergency (or want to get sent a bill).

It would stand to reason that you can't get a health care card if you are an illegal alien, or that it would be obvious that if that was a concern you could easily add such a condition.
