I've seen the illegal alien thing used to confuse the issue on several conservative sites, and I think even our dear Sarah Palin referenced it. It's a confusion based on spin.
The real reason government funded healthcare won't work in the US the same way is because of military spending. Healthcare Spending if universally provided is just too expensive. You can't have both without much, much higher taxes IMO.
