OBAMACARE AND ILLEGALS


In September, Republicans charged that Obama’s mandated health plan gave coverage to illegal immigrants. President Obama denied that assessment in his address to the joint session of Congress when he said “This too is false ---- the reforms I’m proposing would not apply to those who are here illegally.” You may recall that this elicited the response of South Carolina Republican, Joe Wilson, who yelled out “YOU LIE!” to Obama as he made his speech.


Does the current version of the health plan allow this coverage? The Center for immigration studies reports that around 6.5 million illegal immigrants work in the United States. Over 2 million of these are currently covered under employer-sponsored insurance plans. Obama and the Democrats have recently and repeatedly stated that they will be working towards passing a bill legalizing illegal immigrants this next year. Accordingly, our taxpayers will be funding 4.5 million new additions to the already overburdened health care plan. Even with a very vivid imagination on my part, this fact alone will equate to unbearable costs and tax increases, without even considering the other increased costs the health care bill will impose upon the taxpayers.

Call your congressional delegation and tell them to put the brakes on any bill legalizing illegal immigrants.

  2. I agree, We should tell Baucus and Tester either you vote aginst this health bill or we will see to it that we get you voted out of Congress in the next election. But oh woe is me they still don't listen to the people.

  3. I did write Tester and received a nice letter stating that he will be voting for this Bill!!

    So apparently, they don't wanna listen.

  4. For the last 6 weeks I have been receiving emails from the Tester office with examples of our poor health care system. Isn't that funny my Senator is sending me emails to convince me why the 'insurance reform of Healthcare' bill is such a good idea. Isn't it funny he is lobbying me instead of listening to his constituents.....
