Yelling yaaaayyy or nayyyy is one thing, but calling the man a straight liar is just not true. Read the *edited* bill, it says if you are illegal then you don’t get anything under the plan.
They don’t NOW. The bills being discussed in congress at the time of the speech did allow for illegals to enroll in the plan. Hell even in the new plans there are loop holes that would still allow them to get it under the “resident alien” clause. Essentially “illegal aliens” can’t get it but “resident aliens” are required to have insurance and are not expressly denied access to enroll in the public option. I mean at this point we’re splitting hairs. Obama should come right out and say that ONLY citizens will get access to the public option, but he never has and IMO never will.
You mentioned he was doing something about illegal immigrants, I had not heard this. He wouldn’t happen to be tossing them in a new category would he? One that’s not quite as harsh as illegal alien but not quite as legit as citizen? Maybe something in between, like “resident alien”?
You see what I did there?
