No temas si eres indocumentado/a y quieres inscribir a tu familia en un seguro medico"

Spanish to English translation: Don't be afraid if you're undocumented and want to sign your family in a health insurance.

Now, given that the site also proclaims that your information will be used to verify your eligibility and immigration status, just what do you think that means?

You know very often I find you level and sensible on things, until Obamas name comes up.

Actually it says it can't do that.

"the information provided by individuals for coverage can not be used for purposes other than ensuring the efficient functioning of the insurance market ( Covered California) or administration of the program, or to verify certain eligibility determinations including verification of the immigration status of these people."

Oh and by the way, the fact that this article was a transparent lie will in no way change their opinion of Breitbart.

And the countless lies that have come out of Obama in regards to the ACA haven't changed your opinions. He's a lying sack of shit but he's your lying sack of shit.

Are you even reading what you are quoting? That is literally exactly what that passage says.

Both of those are saying the same thing. Illegal immigrants can't be enrolled through the marketplace.

You just desperately want to be lied to, huh.

No they aren't "the same thing", WTF? o_O

What do you mean the "can't" enroll? What's to stop them from enrolling if they're illegally here and have no documentation? Finger-wagging? Strong language?

Obamacare is going to be a "success" one way or another. There may be collateral damage, but that's just the price the nation is going to have to pay. The ends justify the means.

Is this going to turn into another one of those things where you try and convince yourself that to regulate something is to nationalize it?

If you think bringing up cases of you having to write in definitions will help your cause, knock yourself out. I especially liked the gentle nudging last time.

You need a valid social security number or a valid legal immigrant number to be covered by insurance purchased on the marketplace.

Guy, it is not my fault that you haven't mastered the use of a dictionary. Just be sure to never go on that "are you smarter than a 5th grader" show.

The dictionaries I have don't leave blank spots blow each word for you to write in what you think the words should mean.

They do have more than one definition for each word though. Understanding that will help you to not embarrass yourself in the future.

For the most part I'm pretty sure you only don't admit this out of not wanting to have your pride hurt, but sometimes I wonder if you actually think those two words are synonymous. That makes me feel sad for America's education system.

BTW, I have seen a few of the "are you smarter than a 5th grader" episodes. For the life of me I don't remember the answers to be A, B, C, or write in your own definition.

There is an answer of "correctly determine which of multiple definitions of a word best suits the topic under discussion", however.

That is where the fifth graders have you beat, which is unfortunate considering you are likely a fully grown man.

And none of which are write in your own. The choices would be A, B, C, or D. You would slap the buzzer and say E.

Lol. You don't know how to use the English language. You realize I can never stop making fun of you about this, right?

If they don't verify the SSN or Green Card documentation, or cross-check to make sure the same number isn't being used multiple times (a common practice), how is that a deterrent?

What makes you think they aren't doing that? The passage quoted states explicitly that they can use it for that function.

You're fucking with me right? The information can not be used for purposes other than... See that means everything after other than it can be used for.

Opps, I did read that wrong. I have been around eskimospy to long, I must have inserted my own definition of what it meant.
