OP, might as well make a poll asking if "we should really kill granny".

Nonsense thread, again.

Will truth REALLY ruin your lives??

Did Jesus lie this much??
The problem with a BS post like this is the title of thread.
It's flat wrong and misleading yet someone looking at the thread titles will see it and maybe think... "Gee, Obama really wants to do that?"

It's the hospital that cannot ask about citizenship NOT the government. The government will not enroll known illegals in the program.

Plus, if you're an illegal alien, are you going to contact the government to let them know you are in the country?

Tell that to the idiots who thnk the bill covers illegals ...Why me?

Let me ask YOU a direct question - do you support providing Health Insurance to illegal immigrants?
I support just about anything that makes health care insurance affordable for all Americans....if illegals, rapists, Republicans, the Mafia, Evangelicals and other riff-raff also get cheaper insurance ....

I DON'T CARE.

Dorock99 made a very good point.

A UHC does not give medical treatment to illegals. Emergency treatment only and then handed over to immigration.
At the moment good hard working Americans are getting no medical treatment if they can't afford it.
Under the present health system in America if American but not wealthy or under a job health scheme ...no treatment for you today..sorry.

Not to change the topic of the thread but I am sure one of the reasons the GOP and the Dems do little about illegal immigration is they know that communities cannot remain viable if allowed to become old. If your own community (America) is not producing young, immigration (from Mexico) can replace the youth Americans are not producing. This is an ecological concept although you are right that cheap labor is certainly an incentive to many Americans especially as they age and have fixed incomes. In short, the situation is not likely to get better.

But back to the subject at hand. No, I do not think illegals should have free health care but they already do and will likely continue to have it after they are made legal.
