Actually, they are required to have a medical exam at the time of admission and some don't register with INS. They still live longer, than those born here, so long that if they were a country, they would tie for the longest national life span in the world.
Doctors can't make people eat a healthy diet, get exercise, or maintain a healthy weight. That's on us.
