The problem seems to lie in the numbers, as he quoted 46 million uninsured
that would be helped, and the talking heads stated that there are 35
million americans uninsured and 11 million illegals. When Obama quoted the
combined number it immediately inflamed many including Mr. Wilson. The Dems
fought tooth and nail against a national ID that could be used for voting,
now
they will need one for the healthcare program that will weed out the illegal
aliens. Interesting problem really, they need the votes after all, but to
keep their promise to the american people they will need to do this.
