Reply #2: Funny Little Inconsistency, No? [View All]

I noticed this myself that it was a sort of hypocrisy by the Democrats.

Here's the story: Every one must have coverage. Even if the government has to help pay for it. This is good and will save money in the long run because when people don't get the care they need through the Emergency Room - which is more expensive.

Problem: Undocumented Immigrants are not eligible for government assistance. Undocumented immigrants will not get routine care. Undocumented Immigrants will wait until the problem is severe and go to the ER. We will have to pay for it.

I don't think any undocumented workers are currently covered by Medicaid or any other government program - unless they are using a fraudulent SSN
