This Really Isn't A Surprise

The Washington Times is reporting today that there is no provision in the healthcare bill currently being debated to stop illegal aliens (undocumented immigrants) from receiving health insurance. 

The article points out:

"A Congressional Research Service report notes that the House Democrats' bill does not expressly prohibit illegal immigrants from getting health insurance and, in fact, would mandate that they obtain insurance if they meet the "substantial presence test."

"That test calculates U.S. residency based on the number of days per year a person is in the country."

There is a belief in some circles that this is a moot argument because the White House and Democrat leadership in Congress have signaled that they will try to pass a bill next year that would make illegal immigrants legal.

The bottom line here is that placing the entire country under health insurance that is somehow government regulated will not save anyone money.  It will create an entire new bureaucracy that will grow and continue to need to be paid for by ever-increasing tax revenue from the taxpayers.
