ill also add while there were 14 or so closed (Los Angeles alone) during my time in California, the number is actually much higher than just that.

One of the significant negative repercussions presented by the large number of illegal immigrants is the burden it places on the health care system. Over half of all undocumented workers are uninsured, and use of emergency-room facilities by uninsured patients has led to a massive increase in uncompensated hospital costs. Current legislation legally binds hospitals to treat all patients in emergency situations; such legislation, however is severely under funded, such that, in last five years, more than 84 California hospitals have been forced to shut down due to financial strain.

Ive read numbers from 70 - 80 hopistals closed since 1990. You just dont see this happening in other places... not at this pace or level.
yes uninsured American exasperate the problem, but you add in millions of undocumented, giving births every few minutes (i forget the stats but is very often new illegal immigrant anchor babies are born), plus all the trauma from the illegal immigrant gangs, etc... it gets out of hand quickly.
