Ooops.
Under the final Senate health care bill signed into law (unlike the earlier House version), illegal aliens are screened out. Only persons who can prove they are "a citizen or national of the United States or an alien lawfully present in the United States" get to participate.
In other words, when you try to buy a policy through an exchange, or seek a subsidy, or receive any of the other supposed benefits, you will be told "show me your papers."
It's probably Bush's fault.

Actually, I think that's the fault of Joe "You Lie!" Wilson and co., who insisted that such a provision be inserted to be triple-absolute-sure that no illegal alien accidentally was allowed to spend his own money to buy insurance from an exchange-qualified plan.

ReplyDeleteIN reality, it was Bush's fault.
