Illegals will CONTINUE to get coverage on our dollar just like they have for a long time including several previous democrat and REPUBLICAN presidencies, including the previous 8 years of the Bush presidency while REPUBLICANS have full control of both the congress and senate as well as the presidency.
Cue the "it's all Clinton's fault for getting a "Monica" and a pizza in the whitehouse".
Argueing who will be covered is just the political magician critter's left hand diversion. There's nothing really going on there and no real disagreement. The only thing they are really argueing over is WHO IS GOING TO PAY FOR IT ALL. Every dead beat loser in government is wanting to give something to people he thinks will keep him in office and make the people pay for it who he thinks will not help keep him in office.
Sure they get coverage, through the Emergency Room, they take their chances if it's going to be good enough. Now we set them up with a nice policy and everytime someone gets a foot cramp they can go see a foot doctor and an abortion too, I still see a difference.
There is lots of stuff to argue about the "Bill" that was just one outright lie The Great One told. There was an amendment suggested that they set in place a system for checking status and that abortions not be covered, both were rejected by the Democrats on the committee, except for a few that voted with the Repblicans on that one.
I still remember Bush and McCain pushing for "comprehensive immigration reform." Bush was no conservative and I don't think he was a good president overall, if he was we would not be in this mess now. We can't go back and change that, we can only fight now against this on it's own demerits.
I just can't believe he stood up and said Health Insurance should be mandated.
I personally can't condone it. There are times and places specifically for his opinions (which he does often which is a good thing). This was a presidential address not an open floor. Regardless if I dislike someone or not, I would prefer our representatives to show the respect they would want as well. Of course he isn't OUR representative, but still.
They really do need to scrap this patchwork and start over, but I do hope we can keep our heads about us.

All the politicians I have known of lie, whether it be directly or covertly. There are a lot of masters to serve. I always thought the democrats were pretty pathetic with all their bickering and hate mongering instead of presenting even views of all their constituents. It pains me to see "conservatives" doing the same thing.
I personally can't support any plan that requires everyone to have insurance, because it offers no guarantees about costs. So if in ten years if the cheapest insurance is 20k a year, no matter what... I would still have to pay it whether I agreed with it or not. Look how much money is dumped into auto insurance each year.

You know, the good folks from my home state of SC do have some issues - but being afraid to say what they mean is NOT one of them. Not the best way to maintain decorum, but I doubt there's a person in his district right now who doubts where the man stands.
Can any of us say that about OUR representatives?
