This statement is flawed. I am pretty sure that this is not part of the bill and whether you realize it or not, illegals are already being treated on the taxpayer's dime. I don't see how this legislation has and bearing on this.



Yes, they are called free riders IMHO. They are part of the problem. In some cases they can easily afford insurance OR routine medical expenses. We end up inuring them when things go really bad too.



Who are these liberals you are talking about - they sound like a charcature of groupp that you've dreamed up.
Why don't Obama fix what is broken, if your roof leaks you don't run out and buy a new house, do you? Illegals get billions in free health care, Who do you think pays for all the anker babies flooding the country right now? Billions upon Billions in medicare/medicade fraud. This is a pure move towards socialism nothing more. The democrats are over loaded with socialist as we now see. It's all about Gubment control. There is absolutely no thought behind this 1000 page bill. One had the ba1ls to praise Cuban HC at a meeting.

Kind of odd that you automatically saw that as a racist image.
I'm definitely not the one to make this up. Nor am I racist, if that's what your last comment was implying. I'm not so pure as to be against a racial joke, either - if a joke is all it is. I was merely pointing out that it can take away from your argument, even if you're making a valid point.

I would try, but I'm too busy laughing about "anker" babies.

Yeah, I guessed it was supposed to be "anchor" but still not sure what it means.
