Apparently, this was the crux of the whole Joe Wilson debacle, the bill did 
not have any 

provisions for ID'ing people seeking care under the proposed health care 
plan, so although

the language of the bill precludes illegals, if they don't ask for ID than it 
is a given they will

be served. They fixed that later that night after the presidents speech, they 
say so we will

see.

I don't know about other areas, but here is what the illegals do here, and 
why 
it is part of the healthcare debate.

They get injured in Mexico, hop in a care and drive up to the only hospital 
in 
this county.? Gov't rules, the ER can't turn anyone away.
They don't pay, go back home, and the local hospital looses $$$.? The 
hospital 
admin said $13Million just last year.

The reason it is part of the debate........... is because while the bill 
states 
illegals can't buy into Obamacare,.... why would they want to buy?Obamacare 
-??they can still get care for free in the ER!!!

There is no mechanism to stop taxpayers paying for illegals getting care in 
the 
E.R.s. in the first place --- something that needs to be reformed.
