"Immigrants have contributed billions of dollars more to Medicare in recent years than the program has paid out on their behalf, according to a new study, a pattern that goes against the notion that immigrants are a drain on federal health care spending." "The study<http://content.healthaffairs.org/lookup/doi/10.1377/hlthaff.2012.1223>, led by researchers at Harvard Medical School, measured immigrantsÂ’ contributions to the part of Medicare that pays for hospital care, a trust fund that accounts for nearly half of the federal programÂ’s revenue. It found that immigrants generated surpluses totaling $115 billion from 2002 to 2009. In comparison, the American-born population incurred a deficit of $28 billion over the same period."
