Obama ties immigration to health care battle

President Obama said this week that his health care plan won’t cover illegal immigrants, but he 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 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 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.”
Republicans said that amounts to amnesty, calling it a backdoor effort to make sure current immigrants get health care. ARTICLE
This is exactly what I said several articles ago. Illegals will not be covered under Obongo’s health care scam I mean plan, because he will afford them amnesty thereby legalizing all illegals in turn providing them with health care courtesy of the citizenry that was born here.
I am willing to bet his “ainee” has insurance.
Time to start a new country. Ours is gone. These “minorities” hate Whites but always flock to White countries which they destroy.
Russia was our hope but it seems the Zionists still control Russia, too. Why are Whites so slow in waking up to this threat??
Whites just sit around drooling on themselves, eyes crossed, in a stupor.
