Illinois weighs automatic enrollment under ObamaCare for inmates leaving prison
FOX News ^ | April 6, 2015 | By Benjamin Yount

Illinois inmates who will soon get out of jail won't pass "Go" and get $200, but they may collect their Medicaid card.

A new plan working its way through the Illinois statehouse would start the enrollment, or re-enrollment, process for inmates 30 days before their release through the state's ObamaCare office.

State Rep. Camille Lilly, D-Chicago, is sponsoring the legislation that would have Illinois' Department of Health Care and Family Services enroll inmates automatically upon their release.

Illinois' prison system released 30,083 people last year, more than 27,000 men and nearly 2,500 women.

Wouldn’t that violate the Constitutional prohibition on cruel and unusual punishment?

How nice. And the people who don’t commit crimes and who work to pay for all this. Do they get a thank you card?

Forcing prisoners to the will of Obama keeps his numbers up... makes it look like Obamacare is popular - when it’s not. How very ‘democrat’...

Apparently they can't split the thousands for men, but can for women.

Either that, or there were over 500 "other" than men and women...
