President Obama said illegal aliens would not be covered by health insurance.
Congressman Wilson called him a liar.
Who is right? Well, actually Congressman Wilson was right, though he was unpardonably rude about it.
The House version protects illegal aliens but the Senate version 'sort of' doesn't. The Democrats are now running around trying to make an honest man of the president. Sort of.
What do you think?
Will the final bill say it is against the law for illegal aliens to be covered? No.
Will it say illegal aliens must pay for medical care? No.
What will it say about illegal aliens? Probably nothing.
Illegal aliens will not be covered by medical insurance, but the first hospital that refuses to admit a pregnant illegal alien will be in the courts and before Justice Sodomeyer so fast you would think it was a legal hurricane.
It will be declared unconstitutional discrimination. And from that time forward, legal resident's premiums and fees will cover the cost of illegal aliens pro bono health care. Kind of like no fault auto insurance.
How long will this take? I bet the day after Obama signs the bill, the woman will be walked into a selected hospital by three lawyers, a police witness and a dozen cameras. They will pick a federally funded hospital and an administrator who goes by the book. He will express his politically correct regrets and refuse service. Of course, after the cameras are turned off she will be admitted as a hardship case.
The next day, after the service is legally refused, someone will walk the legal mumbo jumbo document to the good justice's desk and she will sign an injunction against implimenting any restrictions. It will then be against the law to refuse service to anyone for anything based on immigration status. (of course it is already but, heh, we aren't going to let the facts interfere with a good political joust are we?)
I'm taking bets.
