These are still tiny numbers. If you completely abandoned these groups (you definitely shouldn't), the US healthcare system would still be entirely broken.

You're going to need a source on that. Are you saying that cost of serving rural areas and costs to address health impacts of cultural barriers between patients and care providers is not a significant burden on the healthcare system? Now you're armchairing.

? That doesn't say anything about the costs, if you're going to claim that it's insignificant to costs than you need to back that up. For all we know that 8% could be the bulk of the costs.

It's literally in the source you gave! 8%!
