McALLEN — Immigration advocates shouted support for health care reform Monday afternoon as Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison was ushered away from the airport during a campaign stop in the Rio Grande Valley.
As health care reform takes center stage in the U.S. Senate, the shouting over one divisive and complicated issue won’t stop soon.
Lawmakers on Capitol Hill are grappling with how to handle illegal immigrants — an issue, along with abortion, that at times threatened to derail reform efforts in the House — in the health care bill.
While both chambers seem to agree that taxpayers shouldn’t subsidize health insurance coverage for illegal immigrants, a consensus hasn’t been reached on whether immigrants will be allowed to buy coverage using their own money.
The reform bill passed in the House prevents illegal immigrants from accessing subsidies available to low-income Americans.
But the Senate bill goes further by preventing them from purchasing at all on the health insurance exchange, the system set up for those who don’t receive health care coverage through employers to purchase coverage at group insurance rates.

obama is a front man for the bankers of the world.
Interesting that the Senate passed the Cap and Trade tax heist on the American people at the same time that the Muslim extremist killed 13 Americans at Ft. Hood and the Dems in the House voted for the health care bill. As Emanual, obama right-hand man said "Never let a crisis go to waste".
It looks like obama was able to close the deal for the globalists because between Cap and Trade and the Health Care bills the globalists have successfully destroyed our Democracy.........but then that's been the plan all of this time.
God Bless and help our country and people.
PS It seems that illegals will be covered but our seniors and the less favored groups among us won't be, etc,Join our efforts to Secure America's Borders and End Illegal Immigration by Joining ALIPAC's E-Mail Alerts network (CLICK HERE)
