Yes, let them purchase insurance using the money they obtained through theft, fraud, and tax evasion.

Quote:
Undocumented immigrants should be able to purchase insurance from health insurance exchanges with their own money, not federal dollars, Sen. Robert Menendez (D.N.J.) said Thursday.

"If they use their own money to purchase insurance without any taxpayer subsidy, it would make a lot of sense to offer that possibility," he said on ABC's "Top Line" webcast.

I don't even know why health insurance for illegals is being discussed. They aren't even supposed to be here. They should be discussing deportation instead and nothing else.

"Menendez said that allowing illegal immigrants to buy insurance from the exchanges would help reduce insurance premiums and other healthcare costs because they would no longer have to use emergency rooms to get care"

Well, at least he got part of it correct...they do,by his own admission,add to rising healthcare costs by using emergency rooms as their personal physicians.

My answer remains the same for any effort to accomodate illegal aliens in any manner whatsoever...
Not only no, but hell no !

Not now, not ever...

Nothing is stopping them from buying a health insurance policy, now. The healthcare bill is suppose to make it impossible.(except for the loopholes now)

Deporting them back to their homelands will reduce ER abuse even more. This ethnocentric pimp is only interested in what benefits he can procure for his grupo.

Yes indeed. Why should there be any provisions for illegal aliens, or anyone who flagrantly violates our laws? Furthermore, very few would even consider purchasing insurance. Why should they? They are already receiving “free” medical care thanks to our laws. The milk is free. Why pay for the cow?
