Rep. Jared Polis said Friday the key problem with health care right now is that illegal immigrants aren’t included in Obamacare, and said part of the solution is to pass a bill granting them citizenship rights.
The House is debating a GOP-written bill that would allow Americans to keep their health plans that have been canceled under Obamacare, but Mr. Polis, a Colorado Democrat, said the chamber should instead be looking at ways to make sure everyone in the country is covered by the Affordable Care Act — including illegal immigrants.
“American citizens are essentially being forced to pay for the health care costs of people who are here illegally every day, until we pass comprehensive immigration reform,” he said. “We’re wondering why rates are going up. … It’s no surprise. When somebody doesn’t have insurance, their costs are shifted onto other people that do.”
Illegal immigrants are one of the few categories of people in the U.S. who aren’t subjected to Obamacare’s individual mandate requiring all people to have health insurance coverage. They also aren’t eligible for taxpayer subsidies to buy insurance on the health exchanges, nor are they supposed to be getting assistance under Medicaid.
But Mr. Polis said leaving them outside of the health mandate means that they end up using emergency care, but don’t end up paying their own bills — leaving the rest of the country to pick up those costs.

Take it one step further: Make the whole world into the United States and sign up everybody!!

It might be the solution to illegal aliens too. Force them to pay the outrageous premiums and deductibles of 0bamacare and they’ll hoof it out of her muy pronto.
Mr. Polis. With all due respect. YOU are one sick SOB! They definitely need to start randomly pissing you clowns up there on the Hill. You all act like you’re on drugs.
“American citizens are essentially being forced to pay for the health care costs of people who are here illegally every day, until we pass comprehensive immigration reform he said.“
What an idiot. If they get obamacare they get subsidies. Who the heck will be paying for that?
They are the first ones to get the subsidies.
We are taking on the chaff of another country … not their middle class. We’re adding 10s of millions of people truly seeking “free healthcare” because they are poor and you and I [who have worked our whole lives] have been designated to pay for them.
Invade China and sign up all the peasants!
(That’s seriously the only way I can think of to pay for what was promised!)
Jared Polis is not a “she”, but he wants to be.
The “openly homosexual” Mr. Polis is one of the biggest perverts and embarrassments in the U.S. Congress, courtesy of the idiot voters of Boulder Colorado.
just make it a UN program ... yeah, that’s the ticket.
Us. He knows that. He's just engaging in a bald face lie to see if he can con you into buying it.
What about hypochondriacs?
Boulder is truly a sick town. Went there once and I won’t set foot in that hole again. Homo perverts and drugs everywhere you look.
“Rep. Jared Polis said Friday the key problem with health care right now is that illegal immigrants aren’t included in Obamacare”
This bitch traitor would look good hanging wallpaper alongside her buddy herr Hitler.
They are the low income earners. They won’t pay taxes, will get the earned income credit and all sorts of benefits, and won’t pay for the healthcare. This fairytale of them all the sudden paying for things and propping up our economy is BS. BS now (all the fraud, tax evasion, under the table working) and it will be BS if legalized. This guy is spewing.
I SEE... murder all your babies then import Mexicans..
Problem solved..

Yes, we need to make them legal so we can still subsidize them. (rolleyes)
“It might be the solution to illegal aliens too. Force them to pay the outrageous premiums and deductibles of 0bamacare and they’ll hoof it out of her muy pronto.”
9/10 of them will be on the dole anyway, legal or not. They’ll be on Medicaid as most of them are on now as an illegal. Many municipalities do not ask or are prevented from inquiring as to status.
