Curious how this would effect illegal aliens? Or not.

So all American citizens must buy insurance, pay a fine based on their tax return, or go to jail.

But an illegal alien, who doesn't have a high school degree and gets paid in cash as a subcontractor, or operates their own cleaning or lawn service, who has no withholding for social security, Medicare, Medicaid, medical, or retirement, who doesn't even file a tax return, he shows up at an emergency room and still gets free medical care.

These illegals are making a killing.

Will hospitals be required to report people who show up without medical insurance? Of course not. Because if the Feds starting checking things like this out, then they would be able to find lots of illegals. Pelosi and Obama will never allow that.

If amnesty passes, will the federal government fine and put former illegals in jail for refusing to purchase medical insurance? Of course not. They'll be allowed in the public option and receive a medical subsidy for allegedly being poor.

Is there some way citizens could gain illegal alien status by getting papers from a sympathetic government overseas?
