Romneycare Funded Healthcare For Illegal Immigrants – Just Like Obamacare

This isn’t good...Just last week Governor Mitt Romney lectured Governor Rick Perry on his immigration record:

“You put in place a magnet to draw illegals into the state, which was giving $100,000 of tuition credit to illegals that come into this country, and then you have states — the big states of illegal immigrants are California and Florida.”

Here’s the video:

Now we find out that Romneycare funded healthcare for illegal immigrants...Just like Obamacare does. It was a magnate to draw illegals into the state.

The National Review reported:

Mitt Romney, who has called government-funded programs that offer assistance to illegal immigrants “magnets” that draw more illegal immigrants to the country, allowed a health-care program that helps illegal immigrations to be included in the final version of his health-care program that he signed.

From the Los Angeles Times:

The Massachusetts healthcare law that then-Gov. Mitt Romney signed in 2006 includes a program known as the Health Safety Net, which allows undocumented immigrants to get needed medical care along with others who lack insurance.

Uninsured, poor immigrants can walk into a health clinic or hospital in the state and get publicly subsidized care at virtually no cost to them, regardless of their immigration status.

Related...In 2009 between 46,000 and 49,000 Massachusetts residents were fined under that state’s Romneycare law for not having health insurance, or for having a policy that did not include all the mandated coverages imposed by that law.

Gee, who could have possibly anticipated that consequence? < / do I really need a sarcasm tag? >

” - - - Mitt Romney signed in 2006 includes a program known as the Health Safety Net, which allows undocumented immigrants to get needed medical care along with others who lack insurance.”

Looks like Willy-Rom-Rom-RINO’S “Health Safety Net” was designed to be a “Health Safety Hammock.”

here is a great article about how most of the people on Romneycare are illegal aliens.

"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the US Government cannot pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government's reckless fiscal policies. Increasing America's debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that, the buck stops here. Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better."

~ Senator Barack H. Obama, March 2006

The Republicans had better kick both Romney and Perry out of their list of potential nominees. Neither has a chance of winning the Presidency.
