Why should we pay for illegal aliens health care when we didn't ask them to break our laws?

Obamacare for illegal aliens

Big Nanny Democrats want to ration health care for everyone in America – except those who break our immigration laws. Last week, the House Ways and Means Committee defeated an amendment that would have prevented illegal aliens from using the so-called “public health insurance option.” Every Democrat on the panel voted against the measure.
Nevada GOP Rep. Dean Heller’s measure would have enforced income, eligibility, and immigration verification screening on all Obamacare patients. Unlike most everything else stuffed into the House Democrats’ plan, the citizenship vetting process would not have required building a new bureaucracy. Rep. Heller proposed using existing state and federal databases created years ago to root out entitlement fraud.
If the congressional majority were truly committed to President Obama’s quest to wring cost savings from the system, why won’t they adopt the same anti-fraud checks imposed on other government health and welfare beneficiaries? Maybe an intrepid reporter can ask the president at his next Obamacare show to explain.

Hi, George Washington.

I see that you, like me, are mad about what the USA has been reduced to. I was wondering what your opinion would be.

Thanks for rising from the grave and coming here to post.

Because liberals think illegals SHOULD be able to cut ranchers' fences, steal ranchers' trucks, bathe in ranchers' windmill tanks, break into ranchers' houses, gun ranchers and Border Patrol agents down while they're on the job, get HUD and food stamps on falsified documents, commit felonies on U.S. soil, educate their kids in our schools on our property taxpayer's dime, get reduced college tuition to the exclusion of our own citizens and drive drunk with no insurance on our roads.

We are paying for them now. This is old news. There is no public option.

If Malkin says it's so chances are it's not.

The Public Option never came to be, so what is the point?
