    I just saw Joe Wilson on Hannity, STILL defending the merits of his outburst.

    The guy still claims that "enforcement" amendments have not been included in the legislation, therefore the legislation can provide care for illegal immigrants.

    The facts:
    The House version of the health care bill explicitly prohibits spending any federal money to help illegal immigrants get health care coverage. Illegal immigrants could buy private health insurance, as many do now, and they could also buy into a new government-run insurance plan if Congress creates one. But unlike legal residents, they wouldn't get federal subsidies to help them. The bill's exact language: "Nothing in this sub le shall allow federal payments for affordability credits on behalf of individuals who are not lawfully in the United States." Health care legislation in the Senate is also being crafted to exclude illegal immigrants from coverage.

    Note to Joe Wilson. Not having an enforcement amendment (especially of the racial profiling to his liking) does not mean this bill introduces health care subsides to illegal immigrants.

    Joe Wilson, one of many morons in existence.

    Hannity is the place for him to go now. Everyone else on the national stage will crucify him. Obama is a liar and he is lying about not paying for illegals healthcare but that was not the arena burst out. Even a small one at that.

    Can you cite the section of the bill so we can all read it together?

    Section 246, which is included in the part of the bill that sets up the exchange, forbids payments "on behalf of individuals who are not lawfully present in the United States."

    Care to defend him? Feel free to discredit yourself.

    I already have...see my exhaustive post earlier in another thread.

    Section 246 does no such thing, by the way.

    Your posts up to 2 days back do not address it. Care to post it so we can read it together and later claim you're a moron? That is, if you have the guts. The internet is sort of against you.

    Here's what I said:

    One of the talking points coming out of the Obama camp is that Obama wasn’t lying because Section 246, of H.R. 3200, specifically excludes illegal aliens from receiving Individual Affordability Credits. While that is true, it doesn’t exculpate the president. In fact, it is the exception which proves the rule. It only applies to the IAC’s and, since similar exclusionary language is absent from the other, critical aspects of the government health system (including eligibility for health care exchanges), -- and, since we can’t require applicants for coverage to demonstrate their citizenship – any good lawyer [and I presume his supporters consider Obama one of those] would recognize by specifically excluding illegal aliens from one narrow provision of the bill without doing so for other sections or, better, in a blanket provision covering the entire act, necessarily means illegal aliens are not excluded from other provisions.
    See, I even predicted you would use Section 246...

    Thanks,

    So your saying because it does not prohibit it in secondary sections (you referenced eligibility), despite it explicitly prohibits them from receiving subsides (the primary benefit and goal) from this plan. Your saying this introduces new legislation that will allow immigrants will get subsidized health care?

    Nice boolean logic there. Not everyone can be Johnny Cochran. Try again.

    To summarize:

    we've heard because the bill does not have:
    1. enforcement amendments
    2. prohibition in eligibility (and secondary sections)
    3. anything else someone can pull out of their ass (maybe literally)

    That means illegal immigrants could possibly get new subsidized health care under this legislation, despite it specifically prohibits it.

    I only hope this represents a small portion of the population. Maybe this is a lawyerly quality, but it surely isn't indicative of good critical reading skills and logic.

    Subsidies are the primary goal?

    I thought it was health care.

    In addition, HR3200 has no enforcement provisions for Section 246; no requirement to verify citizenship and, 2013, when health care exchanges ramp up, there is nothing prohibiting non-citizens from participating.

    If you think illegal aliens won't be insured through ObamaCare, you also believe Obama will raise $500 billion of the $900 billion price tag by reducing waste and inefficiency in Medicare and Medicaid.

    1. I'm referencing the goal (rather target, bad wording) of preventing subsidies to illegal immigrants. It's written in plain English, despite your moronic attempt to disprove it.
    2. I don't believe he will eliminate near the amount claimed in medicare or medicaid. However those cuts are not part of the funding for the proposed health care legislation addition.
    3. Illegal Immigrants can buy private insurance already. It's a completely separate issue to deal with.

    Bull .

    It only excludes a tax credit and advance tax credit. It does not exclude anything else.

    Section 152 states that "all health care and related services (including insurance coverage and public health activities) covered by this Act shall be provided without regard to personal characteristics extraneous to the provision of high quality health care or related services".

    Legal status could be construed to be a "personal characteristic extraneous to the provision of...health care. So, while they won't get credits, they'll still get treatment.

    Another provision states that if one member of a family is afforded coverage all members would have coverage, thereby creating another loophole to give taxpayer-subsidized health care to illegal aliens.

    If a child of illegal aliens is born in the United States, then the entire family becomes eligible for coverage.

    There is also the fundamental question of how will illegal aliens get medical care?

    Well, if -- as the president claims -- they are truly cut out of ObamaCare, they medical care will continue to be taxpayer subsidized because they'll continue to go to emergency rooms across the nation and receive free care. There is no provision of HR3200 that removes the established law that requires hospitals to treat them.

    Illegal Aliens will receive medical care under ObamaCare and, it will be subsidized -- either through creative interpretation of the law or, the old fashioned way -- they just receive it and send us the bill.

    What do you think those credits are for? Let's just assume they are not for health care and you're not a moron. The undo ented will still not get them and they will have a no better insurance situation than today.

    You want to do something about that? Bring it up on the immigration issue.

    I addressed this two or three time now.

    Page 143 of HB 3200 says:

    SEC. 246. NO FEDERAL PAYMENT FOR UNDO ENTED ALIENS.

    Nothing in this sub le shall allow Federal payments for affordability credits on behalf of individuals who are not lawfully present in the United States.
    Please note that "NO FEDERAL PAYMENT FOR UNDO ENTED ALIENS" is the le, not the law.

    Affordability credits are filed on ones tax return. It's for those who purchase their own care. It does not stop illegals from being covered by any other means in the bill.

    How many illegals file a tax return?

    Pure and simple.

    Illegal aliens received free (taxpayer subsidized) health care now.

    Illegal aliens will continue to receive free (taxpayer subsidized) health care under ObamaCare unless the President's plan proposes a method for denying such care, and -- as best I can tell -- his plan doesn't do that.

    The President lied.

    First bold. How is that different from today? They can't get subsidized care now either (from a federal program at least). Walk in situations at hospitals are a seperate issue. Why don't you check the Medicare and Medicaid required credentials.

    2nd bold. That loophole is not for illegal aliens, that's for legal residents. You keep forgetting that it explicitly prohibits credits to non legal residents. It's like a broken record, you just don't get it. It's like someone is going to have to write that phrase on a and smack you with it. Eligibility does not equal credit, period.

    The they can't. They waltz right into Brackenridge Hospital, here in Austin, and get it every day.

    You don't get it. And, I understand why. The administration has craftily changed the debate from one of "health care" reform to one of "health insurance" reform.

    If you don't address the fact illegal aliens now receive free (taxpayer subsidized) health care now -- they're going to continue receiving it.

    I think the bill should have a provision that:

    1) requires recipients of subsidized health care to prove they are a U.S. Citizen; and,

    2) if not, they are denied non-emergency care and referred to their country of origin (preferably deported but, that's another argument); or,

    3) given emergency care, stabilized, and deported to their country of origin.

    They're a drain on the health care system, take a disproportionate share of finite health care resources, and are -- whether you admit it or not -- subsidized.

    eh, morons.

    Two questions nuclearfm.

    If illegal aliens get sick or injured in America, will they be treated?

    If you answer yes to that, who pays the bill when they don't?

    And, now, you're changing the argument. The bill does not specifically prohibit the provision of health CARE, just the awarding of credits. Illegal aliens don't need credits.

    I'm afraid you are the on who doesn't get it. You can't win your argument, so you cloud it up with other crap. This legislation is not meant to fix the problem of illegal immigration, no matter how much you want it to.

    Hospital walk-ins will still exists no matter what we do unless you deal with illegal imigration. Puting some clause to prevent care from all, doesn't prevent someone walking without coverage and still getting law enforced treatment.

    The drain on medical resources by illegal aliens is a huge problem. Health care reform needs to address it and can do so without having to tack illegal immigration.
