The House-approved bill would forbid them from getting government subsidies, but would allow them to use their own money to buy coverage. It would also require them to carry insurance, but many illegal immigrants will likely not be able to afford it, said Shana Alex Lavarreda, a senior researcher at the University of California, Los Angeles' Center for Health Policy Research.quote


This is such bs. I have been in their homes and watched them daily as they trek to the liquor store daily to buy beer. You have no idea how much they spend on just beer alone. These people know if they don't pay for medical, the taxpayer or American organizations will. So why should they leave, they will always find someone or some place where someone will cover their needs.

Yesterday I saw one of my roommates who is 25 yrs.,(not Rose) who is from Mexico and brought here by her mother when she was around 8, come in with bags and bags of groceries. I asked her where she had gone shopping. She said Vons, so I replied, "wow you spent allot of money." She said no, that her friend bought them for her with the $500 a month she gets in food stamps. My roommates friend has 5 kids and probably gets WIC also. I replied, "Well there's where our tax dollars go" to which my roommate replied, "At least I'm getting mine back." Now I don't need to tell you how angry that made me. My point is, those getting the public assistance are getting way more than they need and yet they're crying they're poor and aren't getting taken care of. I don't know if the girl who gave her the food stamps is here legally or not, but she just keeps popping out more and more kids, and yes she's Hispanic.
