Poll: 80% Oppose Public Health Care For Illegals

An overwhelming 80 percent of U.S. voters oppose proposals for government-backed health-care plans for illegal immigrants, according to a Rasmussen Reports poll released Friday.
That compares to only 11 percent who think providing illegal workers with a government health-care plan is a good idea.
The strong opposition to health-care coverage for illegals, based on a national poll of 1,000 likely voters, comes amidst ongoing negotiations over the proposed health-care reform package now working its way through Congress.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, over 10 million illegal immigrants in the United States lack health insurance. That's about 22 percent of the 46 million people in America who are without insurance.
American voters continue to strongly favor the idea that all Americans should have quality health-care coverage, however. Sixty-five percent say that every American should have access to quality health care. Only 22 percent disagree.
Support for providing health-care coverage for illegals is sharply divided along party lines. According to Rasmussen, nine out of 10 likely voters who describe themselves as conservative are against granting health-care coverage to illegals.
About half of those who identify themselves as liberal think providing health-care to undocumented workers is a good idea.

20% for this free medical to ILLEGALS - are traitors or non-American.
I say, "NO" ! to undocumented children getting FREE MEDICAL Exclamation
On the Washington Journal the other day someone said they are going to give undocumented kids free medical.
Is this not our answer? The Congress is trying to give our money to non-citizens.
Every US Citizen needs to be calling and commenting to Congress.
How are we going to afford it? And this lessens the coverage and raises the cost for ALL US CITIZENS.
When an illegal is in the ER, ICE needs to get to the hospital, and the immigrants should be deported. Idea Every agency that gets taxpayer money or anyone that gets tax credits or deductions of any kind must be required to report every immigrant: legal or illegal.
