It wasn't a formal plan, it was a study.
Nothing came of it because it was found there were too many barriers.
Of course Im assuming all the illegals in Texas are free to buy medical insurance for themselves. So why dont they? Other Freepers have suspected one reason Texas has so many uninsured is the illegals. Even if somehow illegal aliens could buy medical insurance for themselves here, they won't. Private plans has ungodly expensive. $500/mo premium for a single person is not abnormal. No illegal could pay it.
Why would they want to? Illegals cannot be denied health care by the states. CA tried in 1994 with Prop 187. It was declared an unconstitutional infringement on federal power.
I got that it was a study. I was just wondering if there was the realization that Mexicans would probably have to be forced to by it.
I live in California and I understand fully the ramifications of illegal immigration.
You mean after Californian's voted for it overwhelmingly, in a free election, which won by a wide margin, only to have their ballots burned and declared illegal, by a corrupt oligarchy?
Yeah, we'll never forget that. The results of that massive government corruption and intrusion can be now be seen coast to coast, as millions more illegals have since poured in, further undermining and compromising our entire system.
As all the tax payers twist in the punitive winds of total government control.
Some of us are very wise these political frauds and open borders betrayers and a damn good reason why many will never support Perry.
