I thought they said there would be no rationing.
This was an inevitable consequence.
Illegal alien benefits are eating away at all manner of state’s social benefits for their own legal citizens and those legal citizens also include democrats, union members and even Kool Aid drinking liberals.
Guess Cuba’s healthcare system is not very good after all, eh, Massachusetts?
Sounds “rasis” to me! Obama needs to invite Deval over for a beer and some brauts.
Oh no Eduardo “Teo” Kennedy must be rolling over in his grave..
What will Aunti Zaytunie do?
Immigrants had DENTAL CARE???
I’m confused - are these “legal” or “illegal” immigrants?
Someone will sue.And win.Next topic!
And tonight they put it back.... it’s how it works up here. We’re fighting RI and Ill for the most corrupt democrats — and we’ve had Czars for a while up here. I think we’ve nosed ahead of those states, but we’ll see if they change the Kennedy seat to really lap the field.

Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick announced this morning that 31,000 legal immigrants whose state-subsidized health insurance was set to expire this week have received a last-minute reprieve — although their coverage will not resume until October.
Using $40 million in emergency money designated by the Legislature, Patrick’s health and insurance czars reached an agreement with CeltiCare Health Plan of Massachusetts, a subsidiary of Missouri-based Centene Corp., to provide basic medical care for the immigrants through its health care network.
So the actual legal immigrants will have services cut thus will have join their illegal counterparts in using the much more expensive emergency care services that the taxpayers will have to pick up the tab as usual.
What’s the saying?: Cut your nose to spite your face.
Needless to say the article doesn’t mention illegal immigrants which is impossible to do when one mentions legal immigrants.
That rumbling you here is Teddy rolling over like a beached whale in his grave ...
Title misleading. It should say legal immigrants; not immigrants.
subsidized health insurance for 31,000 legal immigrants here will no longer cover dental, hospice or skilled-nursing care
“will no longer cover dental, hospice or skilled-nursing care”
Whoop de doo! Those things aren’t even covered by Medicare...for people who are citizens and have paid into it for their entire lives.
What is this a typo ? or is is it just more irrational "reporting"?
