Immigration and Health Care: Legislation on the Table WILL Extend Health Care to Illegal Aliens

Just about the time the Center for Immigration Studies was holding a press briefing at the National Press Club about the immigration and health reform connection, proponents from President Obama on down were denying that illegal aliens would receive taxpayer-funded health care under pending legislation.

I’m here to tell you, as I told the Press Club crowd, the legislation on the table does, honest to goodness, effectively extend coverage to illegal aliens.

Take the premium subsidy in the House bill, H.R. 3200. This lies in the part of the legislation (Division A, Title II) that creates a Health Choices Administration, adds the infamous “public option,â€

The HC legislation also specifically exempts illegals from any penalties for not having insurance.

Bottom line, the health legislation Congress is considering establishes an "enroll now, don’t ask questions later" regime. That’s a recipe for covering more people, but many of whom may not actually qualify. A huge number are almost guaranteed to be illegal aliens or legal immigrants still in their first five years in the country who are supposed to turn to their visa sponsor for financial support. And having more people in a public program translates pretty quickly into higher costs. In this case, we’re talking on the order of tens and hundreds of billions of dollars.

And if they get amnesty...that will most certainly end that anyways won't it.....


I would trust NumberUSA finding out good information before most sites....

Why? Here in AZ they already have it and they have had it for decades, not just at the expense of citizens but at the expense of citizens' lives. Back when the issue was not as heated as now the state's largest newspaper did cover this and show that citizens were dying due to being denied in favor of covering the illegals.

It would take a gangsta government to make illegal criminals into royalty.
