Here is video of GOP House Minority Leader John Boehner speaking today and fact checking President Obama's speech last night.
He points out that many people could be forced out of the employer-provided health plans if Obama's plan is adopted.
He also countered Obama's contention that no illegal aliens would be covered by Obama's Government Plan. The Democrats have already rejected amendments that would keep illegal immigrants from receiving coverage. . . . (VIDEO)

Obama was wrong since as it is today illegal aliens must be treated at American Hospitals due to the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act of 1986 which was signed into law by President Reagan.
Simple make all the illegals citizens and they get free health care. The percentage of these illegals that are out of work must be in the millions, so they are not paying income tax which finances the health care system. All they need is a Social Security Card, which they will be able to have, and away they go, free gifts from America. Oh, I forgot, no fine for not having health insurance, no employer. Couple more items, but I’m just too damn tired. America is screwed by the rotten communists party (Democrats).

The key is verification
There is no provision for citizenship verification in 0bama-care
. The Democrats voted down such a provision. Republicans voted for it So illegal aliens will use fake IDs to get on the gravy train
Legal aliens are eligible for 0-care
I’m glad Boehner discussed this even though I’m not glad that the “Republican leadership”—which definitely included Boehner—made Wilson apologize for yelling “you lie” at Zippy.
When did the Dhimmis ever apologize for booing Bush 4 years ago?
After I sent a donation to Wilson I sent an email to Boehner saying that Wilson was a hero and the leadership that pressured Wilson to apologize was wrong to do so, told him they are RINOs. The link to Boehner was on one of the threads here. If a lot of people sent that message to Boehner, perhaps that’s one reason he’s out there saying now what he’s saying now—the slowwitted Pubbly leadership has begun to realize that Joe Wilson’s a winner, not a loser, so they want to ride his coattails. What a bunch of losers the Pubbly leaders are.
It’s a pity Boehner didn’t back Wilson from the get-go, but better late than never.
Yeah, for some reason no one wants to talk about the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act of 1986 which has provided FREE MEDICAL CARE for ILLEGAL ALIENS for the last 23 years.
Good point....infuriates me to no end too!
Judge Napolitano says the Constitution will require illegals be covered IF we cover everyone and Obama should know that as a Constitutional lawyer.
No illegal alien or foreign nationals should receive free medical care at taxpayer expense.
Joe Conason, a despicable liberal, was on CNN an hour ago bragging about Wilson’s Dem opponent taking in $400,000 today.
Any word on how much Wilson received? I know there are a lot of FReepers who want to support him financially.
Joe is full of s***, it will be money down the rathole for the left. Heck, half the pledges from these liberals will probably bounce.
Say it ain’t so, O!
