The president is correct: The House bill contains a section (Sec. 246) titled "NO FEDERAL PAYMENT FOR UNDOCUMENTED ALIENS," which states: "Nothing in this subtitle shall allow Federal payments for affordability credits on behalf of individuals who are not lawfully present in the United States."
However, conservative critics object to a lack of specific enforcement measures in the bill. They argue that the lack of a specific verification mechanism constitutes a loophole that would allow illegal immigrants to get benefits despite the legal prohibition. Republican Rep. Dean Heller of Nevada proposed an amendment to the bill that would have required the use of the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements program to check the immigration status of anyone applying for federal coverage or affordability credits. SAVE is the program used by Medicaid and similar entitlement programs. That amendment was voted down along party lines by the House Ways and Means Committee.

"You LIE!" is a far cry from "I'm concerned over the lack of verification."
The bill had no means to check if someone was actually a citizen or not. An amendment by Heller would have fixed this, it was shot down along party lines. If Obama was correct then the Senate members working on the bill wouldn't have started fixing the problem. This is old news.

does anyones citizenship get checked now when at the hospital?
this is whats so ridiculous about this meme of "illegals will get medical care"

its funny to have Cons who are so worried about an expansion of Govt powers - so now people have to get their citizenship checked before their checkup????

The hospitals currently give free health care to Illegal immigrants, I know I suffered by taking my wife to the hospital, she had some simple pains in her stomach, the hospital saw all the illegals first, dozens, it was not until after 5pm until we were seen even though we saw countless illegals come in before us and seen before us. After 5pm the clinic within the hospital that saw non-emergency patients closed and we forced to use the emergency room.
12,000 dollars later the doctors assured us nothing was wrong with my wife, she was just pregnant.
Crooked lousy fuckers
Word of warning you best check out the local hospital if you decide to move to a different city, move to a city with a crooked hospital and you will pay the price, maybe with your life.
This quote reflects a serious lack of understanding. They DO get cradle to grave care - they just get it at the ER and not at the primary care clinic. THAT's a big part of the problem. And doing nothing just means that they continue to get their primary, emergency and every other kind of care in the most expensive venue possible. And the rest of us CONTINUE to pay through the nose for it.they get emergcency care not cradle to grave entitlement numbskull. there's a big fat assed difference.

How did you know they were illegal? Did you say anything?

I was wondering the same thing. We have a lot of Hispanics in the area who are either citizens or have their green cards. They look just like the ones who are here illegally--and they all speak Spanish. I know of a couple who were offended because some righteous citizen got in their face and told them to go back to their own country!
Liberals love to paint conservatives as hypocrites. As usual, what they say is true--but about liberals. Liberals are the biggest hypocrites in public life. And the Hypocrite-in-Chief is Obama, who promises that Obamacare will decrease the deficit.
