Can anyone confirm this about Hillary's health care proposals
Edited on Fri Sep-21-07 03:22 AM by bigdarryl
There is a rumor out there that her plan covers most illegal aligns that are in this country. Some research needs to be done for sure.

1. Here's the catch 22
Local governments are constantly complaining that illegals are over-burdening their social services, including health care. Then, when the federal govt provides funds, the exact same people turn around and say Democrats are taking money away from grandma to give illegals health care.

Democrats can't win.

7. Repugs Catch 22
We want then here to work cheap but we don't want to pay for their health care or schooling. We also don't want their diseases or their unschooled kids hanging out in the streets terrorizing us.

2. "Covers"?
I guess her plan could be interpreted to REQUIRE them
to PURCHASE insurance, just as it would require HOMELESS
citizens to do so.

That's her plan- People with no jobs who live under bridges
would be LEGALLY REQUIRED to buy health insurance.

"Citizenship" is WAAY down the list of things that are WRONG
with that plan, knowhutImean?

8. Why are we using the meme
"illegals"? Sounds like Faux News and corporate media speak.

10. Actually, that's the PC way of putting it
"Illegal aliens" is the actual legal term, but the corporate media doesn't wish to offend the Hispanics. Which is kind of stupid, because millions of them are watching the Spanish-language news outlets, anyway. :eyes:

11. that rumor is a lie - Hillary's plan changes nothing as to illegal's - employers that
hire illegals are breaking the law - the government is not helping them buy insurance - and those illegals that have insurance are still illegals and can not be hired.

13. My admittedly superficial understanding of the plan is this:
Everyone would be required to buy health insurance as a condition of getting a job. With no health insurance, you can't be hired. So, I guess, you'd need two kinds of ID: Social Security card and health insurance card.

15. Aliens are covered if they are from Palpatine and do not want to take over the Empire
or if they have completed proper Jedi training
or if they have spaceballs


All others need not apply.
