After the calamitous debut of Healthcare.gov, Obamacare enrollment is now rising steadily, offering much-needed good news about a program that has been bombarded with criticism. The bad news: There’s still a serious flaw in the Affordable Care Act that will require more than a few lines of code to fix.
Immigrants—including 11.7 million undocumented people—are either explicitly barred from accessing federal benefits or face significant restrictions on Medicaid and other programs for the poor. Excluding immigrants was a key concession offered to moderate Democrats and conservatives, who insisted that no tax dollars go toward the undocumented. But keeping immigrants out of the ACA means that states and cities with large immigrant populations are likely face a huge strain on their budgets in the coming years.

Cloward-Piven strategy...
Let’s see.. The ACA website would have to sign people up, at the full capacity that designers have admitted the site can handle, for the next two years simply to handle all of those who have had their insurance plans cancelled as a result of PelosiCare. Since over half the signups so far appear to be full ride Medicade, I’m going to suspect that this isn’t good news.

Well, the answer is amnesty of course!! Better get them there illegals saddled up so 0care can ‘work’.
And when we go to single payer anyway - viola - 20 million on the dole and the system will collapse under its own weight.
bfl
Here’s an idea: They can sign up for health insurance AND PAY THE FULL PREMIUMS like us hard-working taxpayers!
NO - no we don’t insure illegals.
Never.
Let the hospitals ‘write it off’ - like they’ve always done.
Illegals should be forced to get coverage but no subsidy.
That is actually brilliant. It would end up costing them more to live here than they could afford.
Since when am I, a citizen, responsible for the healthcare of an ILLEGAL ALIEN?
These people are not just “undocumented”...they are here ILLEGALLY. enforce the damn Constitution Obama; deport them.
Cloward-Piven-Obama strategy...
It already costs them more to live here than they can afford, that is why they are crushing our social services...you can bet the taxpayers will have to keep paying their medical and all the other costs they can’t afford...even if they get amnesty.
Liberals love to say if we give the illegals amnesty/path to citizenship they are going to save Social Security, save Obamacare, bring back the economy for us. Do these deluded people think if we hand an illegal citizenship they are going to somehow make enough income to be paying enough taxes to save us? All of them are suddenly going to get great jobs, fortune overnight? I am sure if they do get amnesty it will add exponentially to our budget to pay for everything they can’t while they don’t work or don’t make enough to do anything but add to our problems as they already do. Illegals in most cases cannot get on many social programs...their children are on them- if adults in household become eligible that will add large numbers to the dole overnight.
Mass deportation is not only feasible but desired. Both Truman and Eisenhower deported tens of millions of illegals to retain jobs for Americans. Mexico is not poor but it is corrupt. Most of the wealth is held by the elite class. Let the aliens go back and fix their government, and leave ours alone.
The only reason that the illegals are even considered for amnesty is because the Democrats see the potential for twelve million votes. The new term should be “undocumented democrats”.
The GOPe wants to play nice with illegals as if this will pay off in the long run. There was a picture posted a while back that gave stats on what the illegals actually cost the taxpayer. That meme needs to be flashed with every campaign. The idiot GOPe does not understand that being inundated by newly printed legals will swamp them out of power. Political suicide by demographics.
The democrats are so covetous of power that they do not see that their own party will be permanently altered by this very same demographic shift. The south of the borders crowd will now have a seat at the national table. Their brand of politics, corruption and graft would make even Harry Reid blush. Then there will be Amnesty 2, Amnesty 3, etc. Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi will be replaced by Juan Rodriguez and Juanita Sanchez.
