In a July interview with Katie Couric, President Obama was asked if “his” plan would cover illegal aliens. He responded with a simple “no.”
To be sure there is language in House bill 3200 that says illegals aren’t covered.
Nothing in this subtitle shall allow Federal payments for affordability credits on behalf of individuals who are not lawfully present in the United States.But who cannot realize that all it will take is the next Congress to take out the red pen to strike out this little provision so that the government can then begin covering illegals? There is nothing at all keeping any subsequent Congress from doing so as no matter what this Congress does it cannot bind any future Congress.
Representative Lamar Alexander (R, Texas) has even said that, prohibiting language or no, there are so many loopholes in HR3200 that illeglas can easily find government funding for healthcare, anyway...

Obama wants more and more third worlders here in the U.S. to be able to vote him back into office in 2012, and 2016, and 2020 - just like his Marxist idol Hugo Chavez and the former President of Honduras.
And he is more than willing to kill off the aging native American population to accomplish it.
There is a REASON for the “natural born” citizen clause in the Constitution.
The populace is waking up. Very soon he'll not be able to cover his own arse.
You know, Illegals and everyone else who’s uninsured is going to start getting worse medical care under Obama than they currently have.
They currently have to just go to the ER room and get free care.
With Obama Care, they’ll be pooled together with everyone else and will have to wait their turn in the longer line
NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We have worked hard for our money to pay for our insurance.
They are ILLEGALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They DO NOT DESERVE to have our money pay for them.
Let THEM work and scrimp like we did.
Our medical and life insurance came first above all else and we made sure the money was there for those.
Now they want to take it all away from us?
I think NOT.
The American people have spoken and will not be silenced.

This is insane.
HR 3200 contains vague generalities that could be twisted to include illegals. Example: Sec. 152. PROHIBITING DISCRIMINATION IN HEALTH CARE. (a) IN GENERAL - Except as otherwise explicitly permitted by this Act and by subsequent regulations consistent with this Act, all health care and related services (including insurance coverage and public health activities) covered by this Act shall be provided without regard to personal characteristics extraneous to the provisions of high quality health care or related services.
Is illegal alien status a “personal characteristic” that must be disreagarded?
Lots of people at townhalls have asked whether IAs would be covered, and politicians have said no. In other words, those asking the questions were snowed because they didn’t ask the right questions. The right questions would ask about enforcement provisions (apparently blocked by the Dems in HR3200) or ask about amnesty:

Why haven’t leaders such as Eric Odom, FreedomWorks, Americans for Prosperity, Instapundit, and all the others who’ve been encouraging people to go to townhalls suggested that their followers ask better questions? Maybe they don’t want that type of question asked either, or maybe they’re just incompetent.
after illegals are granted amnesty, will they still be illegally in the US?
I don’t think so, so they will be covered at that point, which is the next item o Obama’s list of things to do.
I think Odom and the ALA guys just sponsored a heatlthcare recess rally event last weekend all over the country.So, it looks like they are starting on it. ALA is also involved with healthcarehoserace.com, so they are on the issue.
