It's remarkable that in the whole brouhaha about Joe Wilson shouting "You lie!" at President Obama's assertion that illegal immigrant won't be covered by Obamacare, no one has pursued the question, "Who's right?"
So here's the answer. Yes, illegal immigrants will be covered for Obamacare. Or rather, "Illegal immigrants may be legally ineligible for Obamacare, but they'll get covered anyway."
How do we know this? Because it will be in the interest of all the players -- doctors, hospitals, any other care provider, social workers, immigration lawyers, plus the immigrants themselves -- to get them into the system. The only people opposed will be some bean-counting bureaucrat in Washington or some crazed Republican who worries about the future of the country. These interests will be distant and abstract and will count for little. All the institutional momentum will say, "Give them coverage." It will be like water flowing downhill.
Here's an example of how it will work. Ten years ago my nephew, who grew up in Holland, moved to New York City with his pregnant French wife. He was an American citizen, she was not. Neither had ever lived in this country. They didn't know Medicaid from the medicine cabinet, but the first time they visited the gynecologist, he signed them up for New York's generous Medicaid benefits. My nephew had a good education but didn't yet have a job and was still getting money from his parents. No matter, he was eligible. Medicaid paid the entire costs of the delivery.

Witness how good the liberals are at this, the guy shouted two words and they are hell bent on making this the story to demonize the opposition.
Meanwhile democrats hand us issues on a silver platter every day, and republicans won’t go there.
“”the guy shouted two words “”
I couldn’t help but think the same thing. Geraldo has been picking at the scab of “racialism” (a word I’ve never heard) and with just those two words is absolutely positive that Joe Wilson was THINKING and wanted to say, “You lie, boy.” Geraldo must be as all powerful as oBUMa when he can determine what a particular person is thinking and the motivation. I guess he’s getting a lot of negative feedback but he’s still trying to convince others that HE is correct in his evaluation.
“It’s remarkable that in the whole brouhaha about Joe Wilson shouting “You lie!” at President Obama’s assertion that illegal immigrant won’t be covered by Obamacare, no one has pursued the question, “Who’s right?””
It’s not remarkable at all. It is in fact an indication that the president is a Liar and the press know it.
Illegal immigrants will be covered by Obamacare because Obama will make them legal, thus covered. People are not buying these jailhouse lawyer, end-around maneuvers that Axelrod and company are pulling and calling them the truth.
Like I’ve always said...
Pass this bill, sign it into law...Nothing will stop this anyway...
So, if they think we are mad and angry now...Standby...
They’ve had their chance...And predictably, they’ll blow it...
When a candidate's strongest claim is that they are the lesser evil, most votes go with the real deal. On the rare occasions when the lesser evil wins, we've been shown the lesser evil isn't that much less.
And people wonder why conservatives stay home on election day...
The boy does lie. And I don’t call him “boy” for any other reason than the fact that he doesn’t stand up like a man.
So Geraldo is a “racer” as well.
The “unspoken” “boy” is only in the minds of leftists, if you notice...

I got it from a FReeper who’d written it in a post.
“So Geraldo is a “racer” as well.”
Rush just said that Maureen Dowd wrote that she heard -”you lie, boy.” They were the same as Geraldo’s words but he didn’t mention Geraldo.
Thanks, couldn’t remember MoDo, but knew someone else had used the exact same words.
If you “hear” those unspoken words, it says a lot more about you than the speaker.
RACERS look for race issues EVERYWHERE.
Toilet paper is overwhelmingly white? RACIST!
I was reflecting on the phenomenon this morning: the criminal administration's only defence is ad hominem attacks and charges of racism; no response to the documented criminal behavior of the hundreds of government-sponsored groups.
Congressional hearing over the words You lie!" and total silence about the unindicted felons in Congress, in the cabinet and in racial groups milking the "racist" and "entitlement" franchises for all they are worth.
Let's step back and look. In any court, assuming or guessing what others think, or what their motivation might be is universally inadmissible. Yet that seems to sum up the entire defense of the criminal class.
How much longer can they get away with it?
