My husband and I both work and are under 65 seniors. 1/4 of my husbands paycheck goes to cover our 'basic' health insurance. We never even see that money. Our combined income does not allow for any luxuries. I think it is criminal, and I believe it actually is criminal, that healthy, young illegal aliens get free health insurance that covers their every need, while we, tax paying long time Oregonians struggle daily to pay our bills and buy food and gas.
