The contention is that Obama and co. were claiming illegals in their numbers of uninsured.
So I can't really get why you are looking for proof they are on health care. Unless it is because you are drinking.
Here is Reuters explaining it:
UPDATE 1-Obama changes talking points on uninsured | Reuters
Tucked into President Barack Obama's speech to the U.S. Congress was a new talking point -- that his aim is to get health insurance for 30 million uninsured people, not 46 million.
"There are now more than 30 million American citizens who cannot get coverage," Obama said on Wednesday. Back in August, he had said: "We've got 46-47 million people without health insurance in our country."
Why the change?
White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said Obama was making the point that under his plan, illegal immigrants would not get health insurance.
"The proposal that the president outlined covers American citizens," Gibbs told reporters. "His plan would not cover illegal immigrants."
The U.S. Census Bureau said in a report on Thursday that the number of people in the United States without health insurance rose to 46.3 million in 2008 from 45.7 million a year earlier.

This totally supports the OP's claim.
Even after this came out....liberal senators like Barbara "Bullshit" Boxer were still saying 50 million. This was even after Obama had modified his numbers.
This was because it is easier to sell it on 50 million instead of 30 million even though you know it is a total lie.
THANK YOU!!!
And as I've written countless times the Census ALSO admits that:
"In the latest Census health insurance report, the Census Bureau acknowledges that the survey “…
underreports Medicare and Medicaid coverage compared with enrollment and participation data from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS)."”

"UnderReports the 14 million that QUALIFIED for Medicaid BEFORE ACA was passed!
So the inept CMS that manages Medicaid couldn't find 14 million people that the CENSUS stated were at poverty levels that qualified for Medicaid!
Does that sound like a group that should THEN be responsible for 1/6th of the economy?
Subtract then the 14 million that due to the ineptness of CMS are eligible all need to do is register then there AREN'T 36 million uninsured.. but
now 22 MILLION!
Then as I've often written why were 18 million under 34 that refuse employers' health plan as they pay out of their own pocket for medical services less..
WHY were they bogusly counted as "uninsured"? The true number therefore of those that wanted, but couldn't get health insurance is less then 4 million!!
NOT 46 million! Not 36 million! NOT 22 million! But 4 million!
Do you think ACA would have even got to the Congress if the majority of Americans KNEW that 46 million was a bull shit NUMBER?
I know you know that by your comment!
Thanks AGAIN!!!
