i wanted to see if in fact illegal immigrants will be covered, in the public health plan |

Attention: |
You see, instead of actually changing the policy, Queen Nancy has decided that she will just change the name to make it sound better. Anyone who falls for that its blinder than Adam on the Young and the Restless. This is just about the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard her say. (and thats saying alot LOL!)

Quote cats meow: i wanted to see if in fact illegal immigrants will be covered, in the public health plan these are the two sites i used politicalticker.blog www.whitehouse.gov it is a myth that illegals will be getting free health insurance in the public option, residents, legal and illegal will be required to purchase health insurance(which i think is good) currently, if anyone gos to an emergency room, you cannot be denied treatment, so we are paying for these people already, the public option will make them responsible for their own insurance because it will be affordable Who is going to pay for public option???- and as far as illegals there won't be any-they are going to amnestied,the bill is being written currently and will be exposed to the public after the first of next year.. |

My sister in law work for a doctors office and see's it all the time but it's hard to prove. Awhile back a factory the next state over got shut down because of illegals and many of them had public health ins. even though they were here illegally. My state has an option already anyway it's called rite care/rite share, and depending on your income(and you must have children) you will pay some or get it free. But the benefit either way is that your copays are covered, your prescriptions(sp?) will be covered as well as over the counter items like tylenol and such. |

I have a so-called Medicare Advantage plan, for which I pay in addition to Medicare. I did it to have a little cushion against losing my home due to high medical bills. I am fortunate, I am pretty healthy for an old heifer. President Obama has repeatedly mentioned clamping down on such plans; I don't think he realizes what we pay to keep ourselves off public aid, nor do the senators and representatives. My additional fee has risen almost 400% for 2010. I did read on MSN on "The Real Truth" (or something similar), that seniors with Medicare Advantage plans would bear 30% of the cost of the public health option. I am mad as hell, because I worked full time for 48 years and never accepted any help from public money. My husband and I took care of our son and ourselves. I am against it. I worked for a Government agency, and I shudder to think of them managing insurance |

I know that in the state of NC absolutely no one who is not a citizen gets medicaid. No one who does not have small children gets medicade unless they have been declared disable by SS. However the Health Department takes care of the children. The parents are on their own but thank God sick children of any nationality are taken care of here regardless of a green card. |

California takes care of everyone- illegals first, and then tax paying citizens--but no one goes with medical care-- |

Today Joe Lieberman I-Connecticut joins the Republicans in opposing the public option and said he would fillibuster with the GOP if that option is in the healthcare bill. Things are starting to heat up, this could go either way! |

Im actually debating switching to the state's rite care plan(as it will be free(our income falls well below the range), and my hubby is still out of work) but even though $$ is tight I feel like I'd be taking away from those who really need it. |
