Obama Health Plan to Cover 12 Million Illegals(Can Zer0 dream up more stupid ideas to bankrupt us?)
newsmax ^ | 7/19/09 | David A. Patten

On Friday, Democrats moved one step closer to giving free health insurance to the nation’s estimated 12 million illegal aliens when they successfully defeated a Republican-backed amendment, offered by Rep. Dean Heller, R-Nev., that would have prevented illegal aliens from receiving government-subsidized health care under the proposed plan backed by House Democrats and President Barack Obama.

The House Ways and Means Committee nixed the Heller amendment by a 26-to-15 vote along straight party lines, and followed this action by passing the 1,018-page bill early Friday morning by a 23-to-18 margin, with three Democrats voting against the plan.

The Democratic plan will embrace Obama’s vision of bringing free government medical care to more than 45 million uninsured people in America – a significant portion of whom are illegal aliens.

According to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, costs under the Obama plan being proposed by the House will saddle citizens with $1.04 trillion in new federal outlays over the next decade.

That’s what it’s all about.

From the start, it was to cover the Illegals who work for companies owned by the likes of Nan Pelosi, etc.

If the GOP had any brains running that organization this fact would be highlighted in commercials!

I think those in DC have already done thie (from both parties). NOBODY is looking out for the interests of AMerica anymore.

Just more income redistribution - taking money from those who earned it through the sweat of their brow and giving it to those who will march to the polls and vote democrat.

Actually, the total is more like 25 million illegals from Mexico and OGK how many illegal immigrants from Asia, Russia, Eastern Europe and the Middle East. Call the grand total in the neighborhood of 28 million.

Then they won’t use the ER as Primary Care. Instead, they’ll crowd my doctor’s office. “Co-pay? I don’t make no co-pay. I don’t pay no stinki’n co-pay!”

One of the ironies of the proposed legislation is that it would fine American citizens who opt not to purchase insurance coverage, but would exempt illegals from such fines. This is presumably due to the fact that they are not supposed to participate in the program anyway.

My head, or 'something', is going to ....
