LA Times ^ | 06/02/15 | Patrick McGreevy

The state Senate on Tuesday approved a hotly debated measure that would allow many immigrants in the country illegally to sign up for special healthcare programs that would offer the same benefits as Medi-Cal.

“We are talking about our friends. We are talking about our neighbors and our families who are denied basic healthcare in the richest state of this union,” Lara told his colleagues.

No one is denied Healthcare and that is not the core issue in this partisan game of entertainment.

Go to any hospital and you will see throngs of “immigrants” waiting to learn their child has a cold.

Extant to the real issue is one of corporate cronyism.

The insurance companies want a share at the trough of government subsidies amd to be paid for delivering coverage to these assholes.

Thing is, they will still be required to pay for deductibles and won’t, because showing up at a hospital is free, instead of going to a regular doctor.

I’ll bet if you delve into her donors you’ll find a few insurance companies have contributed to her campaign and PAC’s.

Couldn’t this be classified as a terrorist attack against the people?

I see it as a violation of the seldom cited 3'rd amendment to the Constitution, prohibiting the quartering of troops. They are feeding, clothing, housing, educating, and now providing health services to a foreign army in the taxpayers' home.

These people even call the squad to get a ride to the hospital, rather than take the bus. And they apparently often just want the locale, not the hospital.

What kind of a planet does these fools live on? Richest state of this union is a big lie. California is broke as hell.

Um...they are. As soon as an OTM crosses the border they are given free transport to their destination of choice.

To me at the very least it's treason, without a doubt. A foreigner deliberately committing an offense against the United States, especially one that is antagonistic towards its security, can be defined as an enemy of the United states and the code is quite clear when it comes to treason.

18 US Code § 2381 - Treason

"Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States."

My aunt just retired from a large county hospital in the L.A. area - you should hear the stories she tells me about the illegals & disgusts me that we’re paying for these leeches!

I do not know of any country that has ever permitted this. None. It’s lunacy.
