[Chewbacca]

Are we really discussing not giving aid to a sick or injured person based on immigration status? If John the illegal yard mower cuts off his thumb we're just going to let him bleed? Are we going to deny pre-natal care to Mary the illegal pregnent maid as well? Are we going to turn our doctors and nurses into immigration enforcers? This is audacious!

Those illegal people do get treatment here everyday and it won't stop. Somebody pays and that somebody is everybody. That won't change either.

If we are making payment coverage plan, we might as well include everyone who is going to have a charge. Moral perogatives aside, it simply makes sense to have a plan that is prepared for what is actually going to happen, rather than pipedream notions of how things should be.

Also, This whole "did he lie/ should illegals be covered issue" is a big artifical wedge issue push forth by the GOP. Who's motives are to create failure for their oppenents , not solve our complicated and serious problems.
