After all, when an illegal immigrant cuts his hand while chopping cabbage and goes to the emergency room,

    Not all illegals are here 'doing the work that Americans won't do'.  What about the grandmas, and the babies and juveniles, or the ones who are here robbing and raping, or the ones who are smuggling people, drugs and guns.  Are they deserving of our charity also?

Well, Joe, actually...that ol''expanding the risk pool' thing only works as  method of cost reduction only when those in the risk pool pay a share of the shared risk.

Nitwit.

And this cannot go unstated:

“Proponents of universal health care often use the 46-million figure -- without context or qualification. It creates the false impression that a huge percentage of the population has fallen through the cracks,” Gratzer told BMI. “Again, that’s not to suggest that there is no problem, but it's very different than the universal-care crowd describes.”      Dr. Grace-Marie Turner, a BMI adviser and president of the Galen Institute, agreed that “the number [on uninsured] is inflated and affects the debate.”      Turner also pointed out that “45 percent of the uninsured are going to have insurance within four months [according to the Congressional Budget Office],” because many are transitioning between jobs and most people get health insurance through their employers.      So what is the true extent of the uninsured “crisis?” The Kaiser Family Foundation, a liberal non-profit frequently quoted by the media, puts the number of uninsured Americans who do not qualify for current government programs and make less than $50,000 a year between 13.9 million and 8.2 million. That is a much smaller figure than the media report. 

     Kaiser’s 8.2 million figure for the chronically uninsured only includes those uninsured for two years or more.  It is also worth noting, that, 45 percent of uninsured people will be uninsured for less than four months according to the Congressional Budget Office. "

'Heres your sign." 

THEY ARE FREAKING ILLEGAL!!!!!  The only right they have to to get their rear ends back across the border! 

Again another lib spinner is stuck on stupid.

Liberalism: The haunting feeling that someone, somewhere, can help themselves.

Joe Klein = Drama Queen

I see....its ok to boo George Bush....but how dare you call out Zero for outright lies!!!  These people make me sick!!!

be treated in an ER for acute/emergent care only, stabilized, and then deported to the country of their origin.  A fund should be created by taxing all campaign contributions at 10% for all democrat candidates and any republicans that support "immigration reform". Those $'s will be used to reimburse the ER's.

and others who want illegals covered should find a family and pay for their insurance. surely liberals are compassionate enough to care for at least one family. maybe oprah could cover at least 2 families. rob reiner could take on 3 or 4. barbara streisand could go on tour and raise funds to cover the entire state of california.the president could find one. he doesn't need more than one since he is responsible for ruining the country. i mean running the country. pelosi, reed, mccain could pitch in. hey! why not take all of teddy's money since health coverage for all was his goal. come on liberals. show us cold hearted conservatives what it means to be a loving caring american.

Um, why shouldn't illegals be covered?  Wow.  The liberal mindset baffles me, truly.  What planet are these people really living on?  

This guy makes about as much sense as trying to dry yourself off with a wet towel.

Truly baffling, these liberals.  I just don't get it at all.

If you like SPEAKING TRUTH TO POWER... (that's what the liberals say isn't it,)...

Then what could be more beautiful than Joe Wilson speaking truth to lies.

Conservatives believe in the laws of Supply and Demand. Leftists operate with the Big Lie and Command.

First off, only lefty's pay attention to Joe Klein anyway so he doesn't mean jack-shit to me. 

Obami wants cooperation from Republicans?  Okay partner, start right here: Rescind the Hart-Celler act now! 

Don't give amnesty to illegals already here.  Use photo ID for voting or any other legal procedures, get rid of automatic citizenship for foreign births in this country. And so on and so on.  But get rid of Hart-Celler NOW!!! 

Covering illegals is a huge loser for the democratics:

Here's Why the Dems Will Cave on Verification of Illegals: http://corner.nationalreview.com

"The desire to limit the benefits to U.S. citizens is found across demographic and partisan lines. It is held by 95% of Republicans, 70% of Democrats and 87% of those not affiliated with either major party. It is favored by nine-out-of-10 conservatives and moderates, along with 56% of those who consider themselves politically liberal. But 32% of liberals hold the opposite view."

By the way, there's another angle on this for illegals to get coverage. Obamacare at present dictates that if one member of a family is eligible for Obamacare, then all members of the family are thereby eligible. This means that the 'anchor babies' ensure that entire families, even some members still in Mexico, will get Obamacare.

The illegal angle is a big winner for Republicans and we need to pound on it.

klein,Can you possibly be that phyoucking stupid??? No wait... wait, let me answer that... YES.
