No, since the "public option" as outlined by the President last night will have to be totally self-sufficient with funding coming from the premiums sold. They (illegal aliens) will also be ineligible for any subsidized plans.

If you are ILLEGAL.. more often times than not you have no documents to prove anything. .. that's first.

Secondlyl.. AGAIN> >>>> READ CAREFULLY PLEASE

YES.. ILLEGALS CAN NOT BE DENIED ACCESSS TO THE PUBLIC OPTION..

BUT THE PUBLIC OPTION , AS OUTLINED IN HR 3200 AND MENTIONED LAST NIGHT BY THE PRESIDENT IS NOT FREE HEALTH CARE.

AND.. that means that ANYONE who can and will PAY for the coverage WILL BE ABLE TO PAY for the coverage...

AND there are measures in the BILL ..as mentioned in a post above linking to the article.. THAT DOES NOT ALLOW FOR CREDITS OR SUBSIDIES TO ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS in obtaining the public option.. WHICH AGAIN.. ISN'T FREE HEALTH INSURANCE.

Also..if they could already get FREE health insurance as you so seem to think they can..then there would be NO UNINSURED ILLEGALs.. because they would be COVERED BY MEDICAID.. and they are not.
until anybody proves this guy wrong...he wins.

Careful, they aren't worth losing your voice (or in this case your shift key) over.

additionally, it is not flying on the white house lawn. this was posted more than once in a thread that you posted in on the subject. i'm not sure why you saw the need to start yet another thread.

White House Debunks Reports It Will Fly China's Flag on South Lawn - Political News - FOXNews.com

China Daily, citing other media reports, claimed the president of the Fujian Association of the United States had been granted permission to hoist the flag "in a ceremony in front of the President's residence.

A ceremony, indeed, will take place. But it won't happen on the White House grounds -- rather, on the Ellipse, on the other side of E Street from the presidential residence.

China Daily's report... set off howls of protest on the Internet and among conservative talk show hosts despite failing to receive confirmation from the White House.

....the Chinese flag has flown on White House grounds before, in April of 2006, when President Hu Jintao visited then President George W. Bush.
In fact the current controversy is reminiscent of that visit. The Chinese insisted it was a state visit, despite U.S. assurances it was only an official one.

PS - if you haven't shopped at Wal-Mart, or Target in the last decade you would know that besides being a communist country, China happens to be are biggest trading partner and has been kind enough to purchase all those Treasury bonds so that we could do fun stuff like wage war in Iraq.
