| (CNN) -- Immigrants living illegally in the United States could be mandated to have health insurance under the proposed health care reform bill but would be ineligible to receive subsidies to afford such coverage, a report from the Congressional Research Service says. The report, prepared by the nonpartisan policy research arm of Congress, provides a close reading of the treatment of noncitizens in the House bill on health care reform, HR 3200. While the report found that federal subsidies to obtain health coverage would be restricted to U.S. citizens and legal residents, it also noted that the bill does not specify a citizenship verification system, something that critics say creates a loophole for undocumented immigrants to receive subsidies anyway. |
Remember that illegals can't be denied health care by federal law, add on a no citizenship verification system, a Dem president and congress who have urged amnesty for illegals, you get a system to be exploited by illegal immigrants paid for by taxpayers who would already be paying for those considered too poor to pay for themselves.

| The culprit was South Carolina rep Joe Wilson, who felt moved to act when The One told what was, in fact, a lie. Although certainly not his biggest of the night: Where this jackass gets off lecturing Americans on civility after his cretinous cronies spent a month demagoging the hell out of every protester in sight is beyond me. You’re Mr. Clean, aren’t you, champ? And bottom-feeders like Harry Reid are your hatchet men. Nice work if you can get it. I’m told that his magic number of “47 million” uninsured Americans magically dropped to 30 million uninsured in this speech, presumably to omit the illegal immigrants who were inflating the tally. |
So keep that in mind that there are 17 million illegal immigrants that Obama wants to give amnesty.
That's an issue if he continues the health care program he proposed. There would be a problem with illegal immigrants. And to think, there are a lot of illegal immigrants right now in the U.S.
