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.

This is one of those things that Glenn Beck talks about making me “bleed out of my eyes”!
Colonel, USAFR
He was discussing the "No Coverage for Illegals" and the fact that 0bama says that Illegals won't be covered. Manders said that the solution - and 0bama won't discuss it openly - is to LEGALIZE all the illegals. 0bama must thing we are absolute morons - What a YUTZ.
And we are bringing in 1.2 million LEGAL immigrants a year, most of whom are poor and undeducated. Under other federal programs, they must wait 5 years to become eligible (it had been formerly 10, but Bush 43 reduced it to 5). Allowing them to be subsidized as soon as they get into the country will cost billions of dollars more.
Just another end run around the taxpayer, right Obango?
What a pile of crap!
“The constitution is fundementally flawed.”
Don’t forget.
0uted!
Once again!.....My thanks to all the brain dead idiots who voted for this wing nut!
It would behoove every sick person in the world to high tail it over here as fast as they can crawl for that opportunity!
I see this as being a turning point in the Obama presidency. If he is really going to play this shell game, then even Ray Charles will be able to see that Joe Wilson was 100% correct in calling Obama a liar. Obama will lose trust with a lot of gullible people who had still been giving it to him.
Joe Willson: You LIE!!
BHO: Yes I can!
The American People: You are Fired!
Stupid is as stupid does.
the cat is out of the bag and the canary sung.
now watch obeyme’s polls go down....!!!!!
“It would behoove every sick person in the world to high tail it over here as fast as they can crawl for that opportunity!”
Especially Mexico...here’s their ‘public option’ of healthcare...another joke!

[snip]Mexico still has a long way to go in terms of quality of care. Mexico only spends 6.2 percent of GDP on health care, about $97 billion, compared to 16 percent of GDP spent in the United States. That works out to $527 per each person a year compared to 7,290 in the United States.
There is one doctor to every 500 people in Mexico compared to one to 416 in the United States. Life expectancy is 76 years, two years lower than in the U.S. There are four main options for health care insurance. Just under half of people are expected to be covered under the people’s insurance plan put in place in 2004.
An employer based system currently serves 40 percent of the population that makes up the working class. Government workers have their own plan. Less than five percent of people pay for private health care. A fifth of Mexicans, the poorest, are exempt from paying for health insurance. After that one pays according to income. State and federal governments also contribute to the system. Health care quality and access vary dramatically depending on the state.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Poorer states tend to have more problems, longer lines, more complaints, more stock-outs (ph) of drugs, et cetera. Things have been progressively getting better, but this remains a big challenge for the system.
PILGRIM: Now despite the reform, inefficiencies remain. It’s estimated that Mexico loses more than $1 billion a year because of a lack of coordination among the different health care systems,
So he knows that including illegals in Obamacare coverage is a non-starter.
So he says they won’t be included (Prompting Joe Wilson to call him a liar)
So then he says they won’t be included because they should all be legal in the first place.
Was he not around when the protests against Shamnesty were going on? That was BEFORE everyone got pissed off about all the spending and new healthcare.
If he thinks the protest against government run healthcare is bad wait til he mixes it with Shamnesty.
He ain’t seen nothin yet.
So much for Borders, language, culture.
bump
The goal: to put tens of millions of new Democrat voters on the rolls. ....legally, this time. It’s the Dems’ only chance at keeping their congressional majority in ‘10. ...and Hussein’s only chance at re-election.
So, IOW, he’s been “font size=14>LYING!!!!!!
