The lie that is not a lie - Illegal Aliens and Health Care

When Joe Wilson had the stones to tell Obama that he lied during his speech, he wasn't 100% correct. If the Obamacare passes, there will be no illegal aliens. From The Washington Times:
Obama: Legalize illegals to get them health care
President Obama said this week that his health care plan won't cover illegal immigrants, but argued that's all the more reason to legalize them and ensure they eventually do get coverage.

He also staked out a position that anyone in the country legally should be covered - a major break with the 1996 welfare reform bill, which limited most federal public assistance programs only to citizens and longtime immigrants.

"Even though I do not believe we can extend coverage to those who are here illegally, I also don't simply believe we can simply ignore the fact that our immigration system is broken," Mr. Obama said Wednesday evening in a speech to the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute. "That's why I strongly support making sure folks who are here legally have access to affordable, quality health insurance under this plan, just like everybody else.

Mr. Obama added, "If anything, this debate underscores the necessity of passing comprehensive immigration reform and resolving the issue of 12 million undocumented people living and working in this country once and for all."
This will be the biggest fuckup this Nation has done since Lyndon Johnson's Great Society. At least now, the illegals are scrambling to make a living. If we put them on the dole, they will become a burden on the rest of us during a time of economic hardship. Posted by DaveH at September 18, 2009 10:26 AM
