tucker: assess our math. it s true, there aren t many, you are one. assess our assessment. our numbers we are throwing out their correct? melissa: the number you quote on the number of illegal aliens, who knows what that number really is? there s no way of knowing. mit was the latest one to do a study with gail, they are very good at math and they came up with this idea of 22 million people. you do all that math out, it doesn t matter because we already can t pay for medicare for all and i don t mean we can t pay for we can t tax middle-class, i mean there isn t the money at all. i don t know why more people-c don t press elizabeth warren and bernie sanders on this, because even when bernie sanders admits that taxes would have to go up dramatically on the middle class, that still wouldn t do it. if you confiscated all the money, every person that makes more than $200,000 a year makes and you threw them into an abyss somewhere to die and you tooks
all their money, it still would not pay for medicare for all. tucker: yes. melissa: so, what difference does it make if we add a lot of illegal aliens? why don t we add canada? they are nice people, why not? tucker: that s exactly it, i have always thought the most illegal aliens are probably nice people, they came here becauses they like america and most americans like immigrants, they really like them. if you want to make americans hate immigrants, give free health care to illegals, because they would resent that. why wouldn t it? most americans aren t able to pay for the health care they want. you know what i mean? it s absolutely true, the reason why people love medicarei and you talk to seniors in florida, they love it. it s because they use four times as much in dollar terms has what they paid in. that can t work on a larger scale, it means everybody else is supporting this group. the elderly, we love them and we are happy to do it, you can get the medicare add-on insuran
institute, medicare for all would cost about $10,000 per person per year. multiply that by 22 million illegal immigrants and you get to $220 billion every year. even in an era of supersized numbers, that s a ton of cash. that is for some perspective ten times the entire budget of nasa, it s also more than the current veterans administration budget, the va budget which means that america would quite literally be spending more on illegal immigrant health care than it does on veterans. melissa francis cohost of outnumbered. she also cohosts at fox business, and thankfully, she joins us tonight. you are the numbers person, you are one of the good people who went to harvard. melissa: [laughs] tucker: it s true. there aren t many, you are one. melissa: well, thank you.
