Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders supports allowing some of the nation's undocumented immigrants to obtain health-care coverage under the Affordable Care Act, he told Democratic lawmakers on Thursday.

The Vermont senator, who is running a competitive race against Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Rodham Clinton, made the comments during a 45-minute meeting with members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, according to attendees. The 26-member group is comprised entirely of House and Senate Democrats.

Aides later said that Sanders believes that in certain cases, undocumented immigrants should be able to purchase health insurance through the exchanges set up under Obamacare, using their own money. The senator has not advocated allowing the undocumented immigrants to receive federal subsidies, his aides said.

Beside the fact that he is prostituting himself to Latinos by advocating that illegal immigrants should benefit from Obamacare without any rationalization for his position even if they're not citizens. I say Sanders ought to take advantage of ObamaCare for his own needs by getting daily electro-shock therapy to help him achieve the sanity he obviously lacks

Comrade Bernie is a good old fashioned Lenin/Trotsky/Stalin communist that would whore out his own mother for a chance at power!

Bernie, I know you are a socialist and by definition you can't count, but let me give you a hint. Hardly anyone can afford ObamaCare. The premiums are too high, the deductible for four is more expensive than a small car and you can't find a doctor. Just sayin.

ST. PAUL, Minn. (WCCO) — Minnesotans who use the state’s health exchange to buy medical insurance are in for some sticker shock.

The Minnesota Department of Commerce announced Thursday monthly premium rates for MNsure users ranging from 14 percent to a whopping 49 percent

I say we should get behind the idea, but not until the President issues an Executive Order or Congress passes legislation mandating that ALL Persons NATIONWIDE that can be classified as a”Public Employee” be required to purchase their own Health Insurance from the Affordable Care Act Exchange.

one good thing about bernie. If by some chance he became president, it wouldn’t be very long at all for him and his policies to drive this nation completely off the cliff.

Bernie, Ed O’keefe, and John W Wagner need to take a look at this...

Typical. “Let me give you the shirt off of someone else’s back”. Someone should ask him if should be entitled to illegally enter Canada, or France, or England and get free benefits in their health systems. I'm sure those countries would be just fine with it.
