The (Massachusetts) Department of Public Health is introducing a pilot program to subsidize health insurance for illegal immigrants… Starting this summer, the department plans to enroll 50 uninsured people from a group of patients currently relying on the state's Safety Net Pool to cover their medical costs, Auerbach said. Given the recent health insurance mandate tracked through income tax returns, Auerbach said that group is now largely made up of illegal immigrants… To recruit the 50 test cases, Auerbach's department will send letters to some of the most frequent users of the Safety Net Pool. The department will then subsidize insurance coverage from private providers, tracking the volunteers to see if their health improves and if an expanded program could save the state money… In response, the Department of Public Health has awarded $1 million in grants to community groups to address the problem and created the Office of Health Equity ] have you ever heard a more Orwellian name? – Ed]
This comes upon the news that Massachusetts’ Liberal wet dream – mandated universal health insurance – is already more than half a billion dollars in debt and that this debt, if unchecked, will grow to consume the entire Massachusetts state budget by 2023.
But Patrick ain’t backing down. After all, his campaign theme was “Together We Can.†He's taking a break in his political assassination of Sal DiMasi, the speaker of the state legislature, who defeated Patrick's plan to open three Atlantic City-sized gambling casinos in Massachusetts neighborhoods. It is now revealed that what we can do together is go bankrupt paying for Liberal programs as our communities disintegrate around us. Patrick is determined to go ahead with free medical care for criminal aliens on the backs of the state’s taxpayers.
Ready for President Obama?
