Does either the Obama or McCain healthcare plan give free healthcare to illegal aliens?

Question

OK. I had been hearing in the news lately, that Obamas healthcare plan gives free healthcare to illegal aliens. Now, I know that this pretty much already takes place. But does this mean they will be given free healthinsurance, etc. Just because they are illegal? I have tried to read both their plans, but I don't see anything about this. Is this just dirty politics, or is there some fact here. Please site a resource if you can find it.

Answer 1

All they have to do is come here and have a few anchor babies. As soon as that first one pops out, they run to the welfare dept...  They are using these anchor babies as a probe to stay in the U.S.! Then when it's time to get deported, they want to cry about separation from there America born children. They are on welfare (social services)... look at the stats...

McCain sponsored McCain Kennedy secure immigration act which offered a path to citizenship for illegal aliens without making them leave the country. Don't call it Amnesty. So you must be mistaken.

Answer 2

You didn't get the memo? Illegals have only to walk in any hospital emergency room.  

The president does not have power to pass legislation granting anything to illegals.

That takes congress.

Answer 3

Nobody has said that.

Answer 4

It has to do with how you define those eligible.  Global words without exceptions for illegal immigrants cover them.  Those that say things like 'legal residents' or 'citizens' don't.  None of what is out now is going to help you because any statute that actually passes will be different.  Which do you think most likely to support that based on their vote on the children's health bill that covered illegal immigrants (or at least prevented realistic checks to determine if people were legally here or not?)

Both candidates suck, overall.  You may be able to find some differences on a narrow issue like this, however.

Answer 5

i have not heard that.. but  i think everyone should have a co pay.. the more money you make the more you should pay..

Answer 6

Neither candidate are specifically dealing with the issue.  But the words from the campaigns are... from a public health standpoint, it just doesn't make sense not to provide free health care to the Undocumented.  Since the rich won't pay for it.. and are the only one benefiting from the illegal aliens, it is ugly to do this to the blue collar/middle class of America.

Answer 7

ok if you we in the country illegally they arent going to give you free health insurance..... honestly i dont pay to much attention to the whole political thing but i doubt that they are going to be doing that anyways

Answer 8

I haven't heard that.

Answer 9

I dont think they have talked about it too much. You may be misinformed.
