Obama care does not cover illegals?
and there will be 20 million Americans uninsured. This did not cure the long wait times for uninsured to get primary care in ER's.
That is my point. I did not say the Illegals were getting Obama care. Obama care has only helped two things. Pre exsisting conditions. Kids on insurance till 25. The rest needs to be reworked. The web site is shameful

Well, yeah, actually, Obamacare does help illegals since there is no 'are you a U.S. citizen' question on the form. Secondly, it is not 20 million, but 30, which is pretty much what it was before Obamacare. Thirdly, a 'pre-existing' condition is a condition you had BEFORE you had health insurance. So, essentially, you were living fat, dumb and happy WITHOUT health insurance of any kind when you developed this 'pre-existing condition'. And I'm supposed to feel sorry? No. You don't go looking for home owners insurance while you're watching the firefighters douse the flames on your burning home. You either maintain health insurance...in which case it is and has been illegal to deny you health insurance or inordinately increased premiums for decades...or your dumb a$$ dies and I couldn't care less. You just deepened the gene pool. Finally, kids at 25. To 'allow' this, all congress had to do was repeal the law that forbad insurance companies from doing this in the first place. It wasn't insurance companies that didn't want to insure kids, it was a government regulation that prohibited them! Same thing with selling insurance across state lines. Congress gets 'credit' for removing market restrictions? Well bravo!
LOL one of the reasons for Obongocare was to stop people from using the Emergency Room for primary health care. So before Obongocare you'd find a waiting room full of Illegals. After Obamacare you'll find a waiting room full of Illegals. Obongocare was nothing more than a slick con job by the left to take control of 1/6 of the economy.
Illegals are exempt and can not be denied health care at any hospital and to top it off the some States are allowing illegals to get drivers license.!!
I'm sure the liberals would like YOU to pay for insurance for those 20 million....rather than send them home with instruction on how to return LEGALLY
"and as far out as 2023 there will STILL BE 31 MILLION AMERICANS UNINSURED."
There, fixed it ferya. Hey, you're wellcum!
Technically no, in reality yes.
The law amounts to this.. "I can't give you coverage if you're an illegal immigrant.. but I can't ask if you're one either. Do you want coverage?"
Obamacare assures illegals WILL be covered - illegally.
> It's illegal for them to be covered. Fine, but it doesn't stop there.
> BY LAW, applicants are presumed to be eligible and it is ILLEGAL to CHECK their eligibility.
> Therefore, any illegal who signs-up WILL be enrolled. That will be illegal AND trying to prevent it will ALSO be illegal.
That is correct.
But claiming that ObamaCare only helps with two things is also misleading.
