WATCH: DNC Chair Tom Perez Defends Giving Health Care To Illegal Aliens
Townhall.com ^ | June 30, 2019 | Beth Bauman

Posted on 06/30/2019 1:21:36 PM PDT by Kaslin

Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez appeared on "Fox News Sunday." During the discussion with Chris Wallace, the issue of providing health care to illegal aliens came up. 

"Every person on that stage – all 10 of them – said that they would provide health insurance coverage for people in this country illegally, either under Obamacare or Medicare For All, whichever they supported," Wallace said. "No talk about preexisting conditions, you gotta be working in this country. No talk about you gotta be paying in taxes. The basic point was that you're in this country legally or illegally, you get health insurance coverage."

Naturally, Perez defended Democrats' position.

"And it's an insurance program, so you've got to pay into it. As you know, immigrants, including undocumented immigrants, pay billions of dollars in taxes and that's the reality," Perez explained. "What Democrats also said, Chris, which is far different than Republicans, is that if you have a preexisting condition you should be able to keep your coverage. Democrats believe health care should be available. Affordable, quality health care should be available to everyone. And, thanks to Obama, thanks to LBJ, Medicare and Medicaid, we're 90 percent of the way there."

Democrats wonder why people are flocking to our southern border in droves. Democrats wonder what could possibly be so terrible in Central America that caravans full of people are arriving in the United States. It's not because all of them are asylum seekers who fear for their lives. Yes, there are some very legitimate cases. Most, however, are not seeking asylum. They're coming to America because they know that once they get into the United States they have access to social welfare programs. Need food? There's food stamps and WIC. Need housing? HUD will get you taken care of. Can't afford health insurance? The government's got you covered with Medicaid.

As Democrats talk about expanding even more social programs for illegal aliens, don't be surprised if Border Patrol's apprehensions along the southern border continue to break record levels. Democrats are literally encouraging the rest of the world to come to America, where we can take care of them from the moment they arrive.

There wasn’t a single but, but, but, the whole time. If it were a Republican he would have been grilled.

Perez is a liar. Liars go to hell!

The Dems and Perez are stealing the money from the legal US citizens that worked for decades to make Medicare possible.

It’s stealing. Pure and simple. Same goes for free Tuition.

American citizens will not stand by and watch this happen to the money they worked for and set aside. Never, Never, NEVER!

To my mind, a melting pot would transform everyone into Americans, not different groups who share skin color or ethnicity.

If these immigrants are paying for their health insurance then we have discovered the low cost health plan we’ve all been wishing for.

Mr. Perez, please tell us the secret to this wonderful plan!

[Obama is one of the worst enemies this nation has ever had.]

An actual Manchurian candidate. Voted in by millions of feckless fools for what again? Gay marriage?

The stupidity is mind-boggling. Has to be spirit of antichrist for that many people to be so blindingly-stupid.

Oh, and Hollyweird, the Media and publik skools helped.

Sometimes he was very "in your face" about it:

"Hello everybody. This is not Frank Underwood; this is Barack Obama.

Frank learned it from ME (Barack Obama)."

Ignore "the DaVinci Code" in the last 1/2, though. It's the first 1/2 that grabs your attention.

"(Anti-God/Anti-Christ) Frank (Underwood) learned it from me (Barack Obama)."

Obama channels antichrist HBO character

(BTW I disagree with statues, especially religious - but still, the underlying tone is there)

I see obama as evil. He’s still young and will have years to further destroy our nation.

Remember when the Left threw a fit because a Congressman shouted “You lie!”’when Obama said that illegal immigrants wouldn’t be covered?

Sales taxes don’t cover very much. Tax the billions that they are wiring back HOME every year.

Lets see...as a publicly elected government official...you are dispersing the assets of the public treasury to non-citizens.

The only reasons to do that are pure cussedness and hatred of your fellow Americans..in which case you should get back to whence you are from...or you are getting a kickback from those to who you are illegally and treasonally distributing public funds ...neither of which qualifies you to be considered a “fellow-American” any longer, much less hold elected office.

Another issue where words matter. The only person that can give health care is a medical person. None of these clowns qualifies. Therefore they are not offering “free health care” - they are offering to usurp the rights of medical personnel to decide who they will treat and to be fairly compensated for their services. That health departments and emergency rooms already provide essentially free services to anyone is one of the reasons the rest of us pay more.

Perez is nuts. The criminal aliens already have healthcare and our tax dollars are already paying for it.

Doubt me? Just visit any emergency room.
