What’s interesting about this edict is that I believe it only applies to LEGAL immigrants ... because I’m pretty sure an illegal immigrant can’t buy insurance coverage in the U.S.
“because I’m pretty sure an illegal immigrant can’t buy insurance coverage in the U.S.”
Yes they can...but not on an exchange.
You’d be correct since the article mentions ‘visas’. However, a big problem is foreign students who overstay their student-visas. And perhaps there’s a problem with workers with H1B’s as well.
It also occurs to me that this administration’s biggest problem is some federal judge just ignoring the law and ordering the release of an illegal. Perhaps “failure to show proof of insurance” is a way to re-arrest and deport. Force the judge to make a ruling against that... and you might just get a fast-tracked equal-protection suit that would, among other things, invalidate Obamacare.
