When you hear about all the Democrats that are not going to vote for ObamaCare, remember, not all of them are against the government take over of healthcare. Some just think it doesn’t go far enough.
Democrats like Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.) think that it should cover illegal aliens also:
Gutierrez, a member of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) in which he serves as chairman of its Immigration Task Force, said the caucus still has concerns over the extent to which the healthcare bill excludes illegal immigrants as well as legal residents from receiving benefits in the healthcare plan.
“They are enough to say I can’t support this bill,” Gutierrez said during an appearance on MSNBC.
Gutierrez and other members of the CHC to express concerns about the immigration provisions in the bill, about which they’ve begun to speak out more forcefully as a vote on healthcare approaches.
The Illinois congressman, who was an early supporter of President Barack Obama’s run for the Oval Office, said that the immigration provisions were very unlike the president, and suggested someone in the White House had urged him to back more stringent provisions on immigration.
Yeah, that someone was his Czar of Common Freaking Sense.
It’s bad enough to loot all the taxpayers for the recipient, but to dole out money to people who aren’t even citizens would be a game changer. This bill wouldn’t be where it is today if it covered illegals.
That doesn’t mean if it passes it won’t somewhere down the road. Once it’s passed, all bets are off. It’s the slippery slope to single payer then.
Think about that as you prep and review your taxes.
