President Obama said this week that his health care plan won't cover illegal immigrants, but argued that's all the more reason to legalize them and ensure they eventually do get coverage.
He also staked out a position that anyone in the country legally should be covered - a major break with the 1996 welfare reform bill, which limited most federal public assistance programs only to citizens and longtime immigrants.
"Even though I do not believe we can extend coverage to those who are here illegally, I also don't simply believe we can simply ignore the fact that our immigration system is broken," Mr. Obama said Wednesday evening in a speech..

It doesn't matter what he says about "Illegals" or "Abortion" for that matter. You'll see the ACLU move at the speed of light into the courts and the courts have already held that you can not deny care to "Illegals" and "Abortion" will be just another medical procedure. And Opie knows it so he can say anything he wants to.
He is insane with power.
... and $1.8 Trillion = 23,865,300,000,000 pesos
Think of it. The government run health care system extending coverage to illegal foreigners. My question is why government ruin healthcare would extend coverage to foreigners of any kind, legal or not legal. Better still..NO GOVERNMENT RUN HEALTH CARE PERIOD.
This man lies so easily there’s no way he can even recognize the truth.
Instead of legalizing those who have already broken our laws, Oblahblah, how about this:
Militarize the Border Guard along the lines of the Coast Guard. Build a couple of bases to house and support them. Give them full police powers.
Build the fence. Make it the entire length of our southern border. Make it strong and high with designated entry points. Bomb every tunnel they find.
Start going after those people who hire them. Give these scammers jail time and fines.
Tax money going out of the country, BY private entities TO private entities, at a minimum of 40%.
NO tax funded goodies for ANY illegal. No education, health care,food stamps, housing, etc. Trauma cases to be stabilized and shipped and the country of origin to be billed for whatever care they received.
Freeze funding for the INS until someone gives them a boot in the ass, wakes them up, and they start DOING THEIR JOB!
Any illegal caught and found guilty of committing a crime has his sentence increased if drugs or gang activity are involved.
ANY entity, private or governmental, that shoots at our citizens or police across the border will be engaged fully and appropriately. The government of Mexico will be held accountable.
There ya go Bambi. THAT is change we can believe in!
that’s been the endgame all along. a blind man could see it in a minute. all this BS about whether or illegals would get covered has been diversionary debate on a moot point.
ram through healthcare excluding illegals ... then ram thru amnesty and POOF, no more illegals
It’s time to stop paying taxes. Starve the beast. Are they going to throw 60 million people in prison?
If Obamacare passes Amnesty of crimaliens is next.
Who didn’t already know this? Besides the people who put him in office.
Sheesh! Did they not JUST admonish him on the floor because he said YOU LIE when Obama said illegals won’t be covered??
Can they admonish the president for lying instead?
Illegals are one of the pillars of the Baraqqi coalition.
One of groups that will vote 97% Obama.
That’s why it’s not going to be easy to get rid of him.
Obama's got BIG plans, much BIGGER PLANS. Once govt gets control of medical care, all the defining, controlling features of socialist govt can be introduced, one by one. Say goodbye to the US way of life.
=========================================
Obama "says" he can pay for this monstrosity by magically materializing billions in savings, by rooting out waste and fraud.
But conferring healthcare on millions of illegals who view US laws with contempt and disdain-----who see the US as one big gravy train----will make the current fraud look like The Dollar Store.
And I just can't wait to see Obama magically materialize the hospitals, doctors, and nurses needed to care for 46,000,000 more people in the healthcare system.
Good grief — everything is broken to this man. He’s a broken record, and he’s deranged.
The financial system is broken.
The healthcare system is broken.
Immigration is broken.
I still have only one question for him: Can you name a better country than America?
Obama is an illegal president until he proves his place of birth.
He's working hard to "change" that, too.
Jimmah Carter can rest in peace now. He’s no longer the worst president ever.
It is almost comical how this guy works.
Tell me this. Why do illegal need health insurance?
My understanding is that most go to emergency room, get service and never pay anyway.
The hospital passes their costs on to us in the form of higher charges.
Yeah, I forgot to add “The Constitution is Broken.” If it’s an inherently flawed document, in his words, then it has to be broken. This guy is the biggest moron ever to hold office — worse than Jimmy Carter.
I think he’s realizing he’s a one-termer, and he’ll do everything he can to “change” America in his remaining years.
