As much as I DO NOT want the illegals to get a fucking thing except a free ride back to the country of their origin...it ALMOST makes to give them Obamacare. After all, as it is currently, they go to the emergency room for a cold, or the clap, or serious illness...skip out on the bill, and our medical costs go up to help cover the hospital's losses.
MOST people think our runaway medical costs should be reigned in somehow...this MIGHT help with that. (although since they'll undoubtedly get some kind of tax breaks/credits for it...the taxpayers will still end up footing the bill...:(

no, they get patched up, and they get shipped off. If they stay they'll just continue sucking up resources that should be going to Americans. we shouldn't be making the lives of law breakers easier.

The left somehow think that a law breaking, illegal is more worthy of protection then an American is. Look at all the energy they are expanding at protecting people that shouldn't be here. All these jobs that could be going to Americans, all these jobs that are lowering wages, using social services. Filling up schools, etc etc.

And they shouldn't be here. They are crying and bitching that the USA government is mistreating them, yet they shouldn't be here.

What right do they have to complain? Why are we listening to them at all? At most they should begging to not get kicked out. But they are far beyond that, just like liberals they are ungrateful selfish pos that always want more. And for what? For breaking into the USA?

And whats the reward to the USA? like I pointed out before - lower wages, higher costs.

Won't happen any time soon. Section 1401 of the ACA stipulates that only citizens and nationals of the United States and aliens lawfully present are eligible. DREAM status does not confer lawful presence status.

It's not just about emergency care.

The larger problem is that illegals (and even MORE of them lured here by freebies and the freewheeling ignorance of many Americans) will go more often to seek routine and even unnecessary medical care and stick everyone with the bill. Even more people coming here just to pop out a kid on everyone's dime is a tremendous strain on the system.

I don't personally give a shit if it's Obamacare that pushes for this or not- just the general attitude this nation has largely fallen for that says "Come on in and freeload!" like glowing billboards on the open border. Then the same people about what care for them ends up costing and the suffering quality.

Perhaps American welfare needs to be replaced by a work program. Not "free" then.

LOL
LMAO.

Obama just wont enforce that part of the law. He according to the left can pick and choose what to enforce, so why enforce that?
