Title: We are gonna pay for Illegal's healthcare?

Hmmmmm am I understanding this correctly? We are going to give our taxes dollars to pay for health care for people that shouldn't even be in first place? I guess we have money to give away here in Vermont. Some of our politicans should check and see how California is doing with all the entitlements to Illegals there.

IF VT is the only state in the US to offer healthcare for EVERYONE, there could be an increase in the number of poor people with chronic health problems relocating to VT, especially if there is no long term residency requirement (1 yr residency prior to coverage starting).

Simple solution, those of us that live here and have chronic tax problems, could relocate to another state. Then watch VT implode.

- OR -

Make it optional, those folks who think the illegals and others that migrate here for free health care can contribute to the fund, while those of us who support ourselves and choose not to pay the way for illegals don't have to pay.

Post by: Thor on May 21, 2011, 07:57:09 PM: You are right Al. I believe in a previous thread, we actually discussed just this topic... the Dem's buying votes through the "welfare" vote. If they keep promising more free things to folks who are already receiving "entitlements", of course those folks will vote for them again. It is nothing more than buying elections. And of course we know the illegals cannot vote, but those who believe that we should all be working on a level playing field, where everybody gets the same thing and those that work should continue to support those that don't, will love this stuff.

More to the illegal's being here.... round them up, ship them back. I would implement a system where if they show up at the clinic, medical facility or hospital, cannot prove citizenship, they are sent home immediately. Cheaper to buy a plane ticket than continue to provide free medical to these strap hangers.
