Latinos Shun Obamacare Over Deportation Fears
Newsmax ^ | 12/28/13 | Todd Beamon

Posted on 12/28/2013 3:34:01 PM PST by Libloather

Latinos are wary of signing up for Obamacare because of fears that the information they provide might be used to deport themselves or family members.

"They're scared," Ledy Ordonez, 43, who lives in Fremont, Calif., told the San Francisco Chronicle. She has a clothing and jewelry stand at a farmer's market in Oakland. "They're afraid if they put in an application for their children ... they'll get deported."

While enrollment figures are not available yet from the Obama administration, healthcare advocates say fewer Hispanics are enrolling in the Affordable Care Act because of such concerns.

They may not. Problem is the computer can't verify their citizenship. I suspect that the next round of expose journalism will be people who cheated and provided false info when they signed up.

The other thing that might be going on: Their anchor-baby spawn would qualify, but signing up might bring the parents unwanted attention. And the anchor-baby spawn already get free Medicaid.

Yeah——but I think that enrolling illegals was vote-crazed Boobamba’s 15th consecutive unilateral change to the ossified law.

"Latinos"..."Hispanics"... not one word that these people are ILLEGAL ALIENS who have broken our immigration laws. And let me get this straight....foreign persons living in this country illegally are allowed to sign up for Obamacare??

Dammit, I have to fix the title:

Latinos Illegals Shun Obamacare Over Deportation Fears

There. That's better.

HAHAHAHA I recall someone high up in the democrat party adamantly declaring illegals won’t be eligible for Obamacare. And I recall a certain member of congress that called that certain democrat a liar.

But here we are. Illegals are elligible to sign up.

RE:”Hold on I thought illegal aliens couldn’t sign up for ObamaCare ???

It says illegals who are parents are scared to sign up their children for it, implying that they (the children) are Americans.

Illegals sign up for everything else. No problem with tax fraud claiming illegal child tax credits,no problem standing around Home Depot looking for work,no problem collecting section 8 housing,protesting at dhs offices,police stations,chanting undocumented and unafraid and they are worried about the gov finding about somebody who the gov knows nothing about.Another scam for free healthcare

Let me get this straight - they’ll sigh up for welfare, food stamps, earned income tax credits - but NOT for something they have to PAY for?

Good. I hope all illegals get deported but understand how sad of a mess they and/or their parents have put themselves in. Our politicians and business leaders did they a terrible disservice to these people in encouraging law breaking.

Oh my! We’d all better rush to give amnesty to all illegal aliens right away. So they won’t be afraid to sign up for more of our welfare benefits ? Is that what the article is saying ? Just trying to understand is all

Yay! Somebody caught the real point of the article. I hate it when folks are so interested in making jokes that they forget the real gist of things and totally miss the point - thanks.

Any familiarity with the SF Comical “newspaper” will prepare you for its incessant leftist propaganda in sheeps’ clothing. You’re welcome.

Liberal 'journalists' who pass on excuses this lame are racists... it's beyond low expectations... Hispanics aren't blacks.
