Steele Blasts Democratic Health Reform Push, Urges Obama to 'Slow Down'

Steele Blasts Democratic Health Reform Push, Urges Obama to 'Slow Down' | 44 | washingtonpost.com


One of the quotes they said was, "We want to make sure we take care of barriers like verification, but we can streamline programs to the more affluent" and, quote, "Useless treatments for the elderly can be gone because we don't need to spend money for people who are going to die anyway."

They also said, "We are very concerned there will be an effort to include" the illegal immigrants in this argument, so "we must make sure that we focus this" to the American people that it's looking like we want "health care for everyone".

And they also said that 75% of the children who will be picked up in this will be non-citizens and that 44% of the uninsured are non-citizens and they can't possibly allow the American people to know this."


So the house bill, and Obama's plan will cover "migrant workers"? So, how much of the consideration of taxing peoples healthcare benefits will go to paying for the illegal alien hordes health care services?


Pucker up people, he ain't using any lubricant.... :lol:

I agree this needs to be changed, but here is the problem. Hospitals cannot refuse, legally, to treat emergencies. Illegals use the ER like a general practitioner and hospitals are complaining that such costs are driving-up healthcare costs. Thus, Obama, rather than making it harder on illegals, provides coverage.
