Is it possible that Obamacare will help minimize the waste of taxpayers' money for illegal aliens health care?

    Your link says that Obamacare will save taxpayer money because Obamacare will NOT cover illegal immigrants. Many of us knew that, but thanks for pointing it out to those on the right who try to deny it.

    We need to go to a universal health care system where everyone who needs care can get it (just like in all other industrialized countries) and the cost is evenly spread.

    People who don't read say Obama has done nothing. Or they are just so full of hate they'll agree to any BS story. Then they will vote for Romney and the middle class will be eliminated. The only jobs will be for service personell to battle one of the 5 wars we will be in.

    You make it sound like only illegal aliens are the majority of the expense.

    The federal government has been spending $20 billion annually to reimburse these hospitals — most in poor urban and rural areas — for treating more than their share of the uninsured, including illegal immigrants. The health care law will eventually cut that money in half, based on the premise that fewer people will lack insurance after the law takes effect.

    But the estimated 11 million people now living illegally in the United States ARE NOT COVERED by the health care law. Its sponsors, seeking to sidestep the contentious debate over immigration, excluded them from the law’s benefits.

    that's genuine that we do spend tax funds on illegals, yet maximum illegals are right here to artwork, and maximum of them convey mutually a paycheck. provided that people who do convey mutually a paycheck pay an identical taxes as 'legals' they're as entitled to circulate to an emergency room as every physique else or to get admission to Medicaid. the subject those days rests on the benefit that employers have in hiring illegals. If the federal government could actual enforce the regulation, many of the unlawful difficulty could impede itself. regrettably some very super employers hire those human beings and the regulation does no longer something, or at superb there is spotty enforcement. the subject is going even deeper than that. provided that criminal hispanics by employing nature of their numbers have more advantageous political clout, government has to tread gently around this subject. that's a difficulty with lots if shifting areas. unlawful must be sent domicile while ever possible, yet in genuine existence that option is confusing. I choose the Bush administration had taken fee of this subject as hispanics greater often than no longer do no longer owe the GOP something. A crackdown by employing a republican administration could have been a superb element for the US without draw back for them...one among those a demise gesture by employing a social gathering in decline. A political social gathering that hispanics seem to for friendly management such with the aid of fact the democrats could look extraordinarily undesirable in the event that they became on their very own human beings. Admittedly its a bad concern without very many thoughts. We could be too previous with the aid of do something different than p.c.. at it around the sides.

    I dont think the issue of illegal health care is addressed in this legislation. The individual mandate applies to citizens and legal residents. You can look in the Obamacare website.

    Seems so. But then the hospitals will be forced to treat all those aliens for next to nothing. So they are going to lose big time. Those costs have to go somewhere so it will be right back on the rest of us.
