I will apologize now for this...
I’m not going to rant about all the hoopla surrounding the healthcare speech… but I will say that after working as a Healthcare IT Consultant, huge problems lie between the lines [issues that I’m sure no one has addressed].
1) When an illegal immigrant comes to a hospital and has a baby, that child is now a US citizen, AND will now be covered under the healthcare plan [this cost is now picked up by YOU]. The immigrant may be sent back to her respective country, but she’s now provided a much better life for her child.
2) So many women use the healthcare system as a gateway into welfare. Example: woman has no child, not working, is pretty much poor with no means of financial support… BUT, if she has a child, she qualifies for welfare. Mother goes to hospital and has baby — cost of birth covered by YOU; cost of welfare… wait for it… covered by YOU.
There are so many more examples that aren’t on the radar of our decision makers in DC, I just hope that they have these covered within the pages of their 2,000,000,000 page document that you know they’ve drawn up.
OH, and by the way… everyone is still unemployed.
