Democrats Want You To Pay For Illegal Aliens' Healthcare
Topics: Political News and commentariesDemocrats want to ration health care for everyone in America and have elderly Americans denied critical care in favor of taking a pill for pain - except those who break our immigration laws:
Last week, the House Ways and Means Committee defeated an amendment that would've prevented illegal aliens from using the so-called "public health-insurance option." Every Democrat on the panel voted against it.As usual, the Dems are more interested in political correctness than sound economic sense and taking care of Americans.Nevada GOP Rep. Dean Heller's measure would've enforced income, eligibility and immigration-verification screening on all ObamaCare patients. The citizenship-vetting process would not have required building a new bureaucracy, but used existing state and federal databases to root out entitlement fraud.
If the congressional majority is truly committed to President Obama's quest to wring out cost savings, why won't it adopt the same anti-fraud checks imposed on other government health and welfare beneficiaries?
The Democratic leadership denies that an estimated 12 million to 20 million illegal immigrants will get taxpayer-subsidized health-insurance coverage. Senate Finance Committee Chair Sen. Max Baucus (D-Mont.) calls the proposition "too politically explosive."
