Health care overhaul insures 2.5 million more young adults

And when the law was written it was worded so the illegals would fall under obamacare also......through the back door, albeit....but covered.
Nonsense. The law did not require identification for medicaid coverage because Medicaid is administered by the states who do require identification. Identification for Medicaid coverage has been in federal law since 2006.

But, no one will be turned away in an emergency room, Flopper...just as it is now.
Obamacare will pick up the tab on it...even when they advertised that illegals aren't covered.
The cost for caring for undocumented aliens in emergency rooms still rest primarily with the hospital. There may be some assistance from states but in most cases it is the hospital that must bear the cost.

Political pressure at the state and federal level has made it illegal for states to sign up illegals immigrant for Medicaid since 1990. In 1996, federal law required identification that proved citizenship with application for Medicaid. The new healthcare law does nothing to change that. However, we still require hospitals to accept those that need emergency medical care regardless of their ability to pay.
