House Republicans expressed concern Friday that the Affordable Health Care for All Americans Act contains loopholes which ultimately could provide government-subsidized health care benefits to illegal immigrants.
“It would cost the American tax payer $30.5 billion for people who have illegally come to this country,” said Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.)
Wilson added that according to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), 2.5 million more illegal immigrants would benefit from the legislation.
The GOP members wrote amendments fo the House Health Care Reform Bill that would prevent access to health care benefits by these illegal aliens until they proved citizenship. However, the Rules Committee will reportedly not take any more amendments until the House votes.
“There’s a way to fix this...it should be fixed before the vote is taken,” said Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.)

We have to be the only country on earth that takes better care of theur illegal aliens that it does the citizens of ths country.
My God, we have 10.3% unemployment and still these pandering politicuans are kicking Americans to the curb in order to better protect those that have broken our laws to come here.
What is the master plan, to starve the Americans out of the country???
Our Government, past & present, Republican & Democrat, have allowed the invasion of 20 to 30 million criminals and uneducated peons which is the largest invasion of any Nation, at any time, by any means & in direct violation of Article IV, Section IV of our Constitution.
This refusal to abide by our Constitution or enforce our Immigration Laws should be classified as Treason of the most foul kind, & as grounds for impeachment & trials for Treason!
Not only have they allowed the invasion, they force American tax payers to pay Billions on Billions of dollars to provide Welfare, Prison cells, Educate the invaders numerous children, and free medical care, at the same time the invading horde break numerous laws and massive document fraud, & are destroying our schools, hospitals, communities, culture and standard of living while Robbing, Raping, Killing & Assaulting American Citizens WAKE UP PEOPLE!
I agree with Steve 100%. A down right invasion, hostile takeover!
Steve and Jeff,
Please take it down a notch. What is it that you are afraid of? That this will not be white America anymore? Wake up, because American isn't just white anymore. Soon you will be the minority and your great grandchildren will most likely not be just white either. These immigrants are simply migrating just as your ancestors migrated here to initiate their "hostile takeover". I know plenty of immigrants who've come here and work their asses off. They pay taxes, but receive no healthcare and will receive not a dime of SS when they retire. It is highly likely that you or your kids will be cashing those checks. Why don't you point the finger at your government who so freely accepts their dollars under fraudulent SS#s anyway. And as for immigrants taking American jobs, what are you worried about anyway? Theyre working all the crappy jobs that you and I won't take. There aren't anymore high paying factory or union jobs out here. President Clinton sent them overseas remember? The jobs immigrants cannot reach are jobs that require an education and don't worry aout their kids obtaining these either because our crappy school system won't do them good. Stop with the racist attitude and realize that the mess that we are in is due to a greedy government and a capitalist society.
