#1 Same for abortion funding. If specficially NOT excluded, then it will be funded.

#2 Well, the CBO says 10.2 million of the fictional 47 million uninsured are illegals.....

#3 The Sen. Casey "public forum" I attended this morning was underpopulated & loaded with union activists & single-payer true believers, but the one bit which truly made the whole crowd growl with unaccustomed neanderthalic fury was some random fucking question about immigrants getting health coverage. They're agin' it, that's for sure.

Abortion funding seems to be slipped into the bill in its House form via extremely vague "family planning" references according to the analysis by the Czar of Muscovy.

#4 Abortion

Technically, the privacy between a patient and her/his doctor on a life and death decision which the court said that government had no business in? So, what about all those government directed and/or own panels in critical medical issues? Someone at SCOTUS is going to have to twist their fiat into some pretzel to get this all to fit.

#6 The bad news is we'll have to kill Grandma so we have money to treat illegals. The good news is that she'll still get to vote Democrat after we kill her.

#7 DMFD, that'd be great snark if it wasn't so true.

#8 Read HR3200 for yourself. Its in section 152 Non-discrimination in Health Care. The relevant bits are on pp. 50-51: "...all health care and related services (including insurance coverage and public health activities) covered by the Act shall be provided without regard to personal characteristics extraneous to the provision of high quality healthcare or related services."

Those 'extraneous personal characteristics', my friends, happen to include immigration status.
