One way or another, Democrats are determined to sneak a way into the health bills to make sure illegals are covered. Why? Three reasons. First, because they are idiots. Second, to create more Democrat voters. Third, they despise the law. Fourth, they are jerks. Okay, four reasons
Hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants could receive health care coverage from their employers under the bills winding their way through Congress, despite President Obama’s explicit pledge that illegal immigrants would not benefit.
The House bill mandates, and the Senate bill strongly encourages, businesses to extend health care coverage to all employees. But the bills do not have exemptions to screen out illegal immigrants, who usually obtain jobs by using false identities and are indistinguishable from legal workers.
A rough estimate by the Center for Immigration Studies suggests that the practical effect of the mandates would be that about 1 million illegal immigrants could obtain health insurance coverage through their employers.
You know, if Democrats had written a wise, sane, reasonable, smart health bill which actually addressed the issues in the American health care system, they might not be facing the prospect of losing massive numbers of Congressional seats. But, it isn’t about fixing health care, it is about control.
