How Do The Health Care Reform Proposals Address Care For Illegal Aliens?

February 8th, 2010 by admin Leave a reply »

Many have said that the reason health care is so expensive is that hospitals pass on the cost of caring for people with no insurance, including illegal aliens, to people who pay their bills or have insurance.
If we are to have a comprehensive system, won’t this issue need to be addressed?

    I get emails from Lu Lac and La Raza, they both are under the impression that illegals are covered. And since both are strongly affiliated with the DNC like Acorn and the Dems wrote the bill, I would say that Yes, illagals are covered.
    Libtards will say they are not covered becuase of political heat and pressure, but they are.
    And if there is no federal payment for illegals, then it becomes the states or individual counties problem.

    It is addressed, by the simple fact that it is not addressed, the law prohibits denying anyone service in hospitals and emergency rooms in the United States. That’s the problem with anything this government is allowed to do, they will use the lack of legislation to promote a policy. It’s very similar to the immigration laws which need to be interpreted. For example; one sheriff in Arizona is arresting illegals, when they do something illegal or if they are illegal, then puts them in the sheriffs jail. He is currently being sued for breaking the law by not returning them to the border patrol for transport back to their home state. Which by the way; is what the illegal wants. But your question addressed how the health care reform proposal address care for illegal aliens (illegal immigrants): It helps them by keeping them out of the bill!

    As of July Obama said he would not cover illegal aliens but may make an exception for children. Now that sounds all well and good that he wouldn’t want to cover illegal aliens but in the same interview it sounded like he wanted some sort of amnesty for these people so they become legal. Sneaky sneaky. Love those politicians. He wants that Latino vote doesn’t he? lol

    CBS News: Obama: No Health Care For Illegal Immigrants
    “Asked by CBS News’ Katie Couric in an exclusive interview whether illegal immigrants should be covered under a new health care plan, President Obama responded simply, “no.” But he said there may need to be an exception to that policy for children.
    “”First of all, I’d like to create a situation where we’re dealing with illegal immigration, so that we don’t have illegal immigrants,” he said. “And we’ve got legal residents or citizens who are eligible for the plan. And I want a comprehensive immigration plan that creates a pathway to achieve that.”
    “The one exception that I think has to be discussed is how are we treating children,” he continued. “Partly because if you’ve got children who may be here illegally but are still in playgrounds or at schools, and potentially are passing on illnesses and communicable diseases, that aren’t getting vaccinated, that I think is a situation where you may have to make an exception.”"http://www.cbsnews.com/blogs/2009/07/21/…

    Obama’s health care reform proposals address care for illegal aliens with a Green Light, come one come all and invite your family freinds and neighbors back home.
    Obama is a pain in the a s s for America and an aid and comfort to America’s enemies.

    H.R. 3200
    Sec. 246. No Federal payment for undocumented aliens.

  7. Suck my knob, police-woman! says:

    It’s been addressed multiple times. No healthcare for illegals. However, I’m sure hospital ERs will still be legally obliged to treat if someone walks in off the street. Or at the very least in a life and death situation.

    Who has said that?
    From my experience the illegal aliens just use Emergency Rooms as clinics and skip out on the bill, which leaves the tax payers to foot the bill.

  9. Kiran C says:

    The current House Bill does not cover illegal aliens. Most people without insurance are legal residents with a job.

  10. John P says:

    Illegal aliens will not be able to access public health care.

    Until this government sues the country of Origin for Illegals healthcare and welfare costs people will still come.
