Gee, you dismiss that they have a brain.

If I went to Mexico illegally, I would not get free healthcare, and I would be put in prison.

Your sense of "compassion" is weakness, and you should care for all of the Americans who need help, not illegals.

Why are you siding with illegals??

Does it scare you to think average Americans can just access information and discern it?

By the way I am an independent, and I don't suck up to any party.
Your Politifact is wrong.

The Senate Finance Committee is 50% D and 50% R.

The voluntary end-of-life counseling provision is being removed as a result of the monumental hissyfits pitched in the town hall meetings.

It scares me that they can't.

A fine argument, with so much evidence in support.

So saying they won't give them coverage is just what we have now. They don't ask anyone if they are an illegal alien when they give them Medicaid. But just go down to your Department of Economic Security and take a seat. You'll find out.

Ah, Newsmax....

That's the Heller amendment. It would have required further eligibility screening beyond what's are already in place.

Do you realize that your "proof" is based on something that was NOT included?

Its simple fear-mongering, based on nothing.

You really want to believe that politicians have your best interests in mind, don't you?
