Thread: Immigration Distrust on Health Bill

Nothing illustrates America’s distrust of Congress quite like the illegal immigrant provision of the House health care bill, HR 3200.

President Obama made it the first item in his last radio address:

“I want to spend a few minutes debunking some of the more outrageous myths circulating on the Internet, on cable TV, and repeated at some town halls across this country.

“Let’s start with the false claim that illegal immigrants will get health insurance under reform. That’s not true. Illegal immigrants would not be covered.â€

Not only covering illegals, but taking from elderly American citizens by reducing funds available for Medicare Advantage, a program that provides better insurance and more choice than traditional Medicare.

gaping loopholes that will allow illegal immigrants to receive taxpayer-funded benefits. And these loopholes are no accident. The legislation contains no verification mechanism to ensure that illegal immigrants do not apply for benefits.

This is TRUE for almost all social services in sanctuary cities and states.

Besides, they go to hospitals now, get all the care in the world and don't pay a dime while not being required to show proof of citizneship..nothing will change..so how will the federal govt enforce no eligibility? They aren't doing it now, so what difference is the bill going to make? The illegals won't get ObamaCare, they'll just keep going to the hospitals and get it for free. What a sham, Obama..you really are a goof-ball aren't you!
