ObamaCare to Provide Free Healthcare for Illegal Aliens
Posted by Dave Blount at July 20, 2009 11:24 AM
It should come as no surprise that ObamaCare will mean we taxpayers get to buy free healthcare for millions of illegal aliens:
On Friday, Democrats moved one step closer to giving free health insurance to the nation's estimated 12 million illegal aliens when they successfully defeated a Republican-backed amendment, offered by Rep. Dean Heller, R-Nev., that would have prevented illegal aliens from receiving government-subsidized health care under the proposed plan backed by House Democrats and President Barack Obama.
The actual number of illegals lining up to suck our country dry is probably much higher than 12 million, and will hardly be reduced when we hang out a sign reading FREE MEDICAL CARE. As for the will of the people,
A recent Rasmussen Reports poll found that an overwhelming 80 percent of Americans oppose covering illegals in any public health care bill.
So much for representative government. In case you thought our rulers are the least concerned with what we want:
One of the ironies of the proposed legislation is that it would fine American citizens who opt not to purchase insurance coverage, but would exempt illegals from such fines.
First, the government allows millions of Third-World peasants to illegally colonize our country. Second, it refuses to kick them out. Third, it forces us to buy them all free health care at a cost our economy simply cannot sustain during a recession. Fourth will be the coup de grâce: "immigration reform," aka amnesty, intended to ensure a permanent socialist majority.
