The House bill actually raises more questions than it resolves with respect to whether the bill will burden American taxpayers by giving health care benefits to legal and illegal aliens. Under Welfare Reform, legal aliens are required to wait five years before becoming eligible for welfare or other taxpayer funded benefits. The House bill eliminates that 5-year waiting period. Accordingly, legal aliens will become immediately eligible for this government handout paid for by American taxpayers. Illegal aliens are also likely to qualify for this affordability credit. This is because there are NO provisions that would prevent illegals from participating in the exchange or from receiving the credit. Likewise, there are NO requirements that a government agency verify eligibility. Accordingly, without these important safeguards, illegal aliens would probably receive this subsidy.

If this bill were to pass, there would be people flooding across our borders legally and illegally to get free treatment!.....Oh, wait a minute....
There would be no need to reform health care if it were not for spending on illegals. So democrats and some republicans want to kill off granny and give her health care to illegals.
If the ‘RATS say that it doesn’t cover illegals, IT COVERS ILLEGALS.
They fantasize about all those Hispanic voters...
Don’t you people get it? He’s going LEGALIZE the 30 million illegals already here! It’ll be AMNESTY!!! Of course they’re included! They represent 30 million new leftist assholes for the DemonRats! Forget if they’re covered in his dumbass bill, they’re all going to be given citizenship by the LORD GOD OBAMA!
That’s what happened here in Massachusetts, illegals are allowed to buy into the state subsidized plans.
That is why none of this matters. Once the Dems get 30-40 million illegals as citizens, they will remake this country into a racist, socialist nightmare. As soon as the are given amnesty and get voting rights, the game is over for the Republicans and the USA.
The Democrats are traitors and cowards. Every last one of them.

It’s real easy Congress. These people are illegal in America and should not get benefits period and they should not be voting period.
Yup. Making the illegals citizens is the real goal. Everything else is foreplay. And its not just them—its all their relatives too.
Automatic voting block for Dems. Aren't they briliant?/s
It doesn’t matter what’s in the bill. They will sue to get illegal aliens in it. We found that out with prop 187 in California.
Vote out/against EVERY RAT you come across in 2010.
You have that right! It is sickening to watch illegals ruin our health care system. They don't give a crap about taxpayer's paying for their health care either. They think they deserve it (like everything else they TAKE from legal citizens)!
Violet Perry, 89, of Dartmouth, worried about some 50 million uninsured people suddenly getting health care under Obamas new plan. How am I, or anybody else worse than me, going to be able to get timely appointments with a doctor once you add in all these new patients?
Frank said that, in the short term, the immigration issue would have an impact on the health-care system, but he believes in time the nation will increase its supply of medical practitioners.
Well, there you go folks. The first Democrat to admit that illegal aliens are going to be getting American Democrat Nationalized Health Care.
Exactly! Just what we need - another “magnet” to attract even more illegals. I can’t think of anything else left to give away!
Surely he isn't lying again is he?
Right you are - we’re facing ever-increasing taxes for prison incarceration, bankrupt public school districts, insolvent hospitals, and the human and economic ravages of the drug cartel. These things will destroy granny if rationed health care doesn’t get her first!
