Obama is letting the xenophobes dictate the debate. Logically, the more people that buy health care the lower the premiums for everyone.
why should tax paying xenophobes be forced to pay for medical care for residents of another country? those illegals aren't going to buy healthcare, they are going to claim they cannot afford it (notice there is a section in the bill that forbids fining them for not having insurance) and they will be provided access to the "public option" know how I know? cause the demoncwats have voted down every proposal set forth that would identify them as illegal residents.
I though we were talking about not letting them buy private healthcare! If we are talking about not letting illegals into the public option or any UHC system in the future, then I am all for it!
Not allowing treatment at the hospital reaches into moral areas, in which sympathy would easily slide in favor of the person in peril! A better method is treat the person, but then detain the person and deport them!
The SCOTUS had decreed that for humanitarian purposes they must be treated in a life threatening emergency. I'm all for that. I'm not for the hard working xenophobic American citizen being forced to pay for the illegal immigrants to receive cradle to grave entitlements.
