      How is it going to cover them then Rush? IT doesn't say so in the bill, you said it yourself, but what then?

      God, you guys are freakin' dense.

        It doesn't specifically say so in the bill, so he can't tell you how. He just knows that if you start with "the secret lies with charlotte" which was a clue written sometime around the american revolution you will eventually be able to connect the dots through a series of clues and anagrams laid down over time to prove that some kenyan 200 years or so ago had put together a masterful plan to bring the fledgeling US government to it's knees 200 years later. Just remember, the secret lies with charlotte!

        He is assuming that there would be loopholes in the law. There probably could be loopholes, and that's what Wilson and Limbaugh are banking on.

      But it is written in the bill, in invisible ink that only true Conservative can see. Its right there, as plain and true as the two Kenya birth certificates.

      this is acually what the bill says:
      SEC. 246. NO FEDERAL PAYMENT FOR UNDOCUMENTED ALIENS.

      Nothing in this subtitle shall allow Federal payments for affordability credits on behalf of individuals who are not lawfully present in the United States.
      --------------------------------------------------------------

      so it would seem that rush is not just a liar, but an uninformed liar.

      althogh i can play that game too. i know it's not in the bill, but, if we get the public option, the govenment will provide us with free ice cream everyday for the rest of our lives. i can hardly wait.

      Will the new rules for insurance cover overweight, drug addicts, and drug induced deaf people?

        I just read the bill. Here's what I found: It will NOT cover overweight drug addicts who continually peddle propaganda to the American people for the purpose of inciting fear, hatred and armed ignorance. It says so at the bottom of page 17, although it's in invisible ink.

      So, based on no facts what so ever, Rush says that something will happen. Why would Obama want to cover millions of illegal immigrants when it would be drive up costs for health care. The more you try to cover, the more expensive it gets. In Rush's case, the more he eats and doesn't exercise, the more his health care will cost.

        What do you mean no facts? He said right at the beginning that it wasn't in there. What more proof do you need that Obama secretly wants to give amnesty to 12 million mexicans? Geez, if he put it in the bill, then we'd see it and he couldn't get away with it, now could he?

        Gosh, you libs are soooooo dense.

      This is Ole BlunderRush's stock-in-trade. He just makes it up.

      This is a quote about the so-called death panels: "It isn't in the bill. But it's there."

      You can't argue with fantasy.

      “It will cover undocumented aliens. Now it may not specifically say so in the bill..” How can anyone take him serious with this statement? If this does not show Rush and his dittoheads are closed-minded and do not take into account reality when they formulate their opinions.

      New line of defense for republicans: The Bill doesn't say it covers illegals... but it doesn't say it doesn't cover them either. How stupid do you have to be to follow that logic ?

      It doesn't say either it won't cover your imaginary friend, your pets, life forms from outer space... Should this be added as well ?

      Actually considering what the Prez said about the public option being paid for 100% by premiums paid into the plan, who gives a flying f**k if illegal aliens are covered or not? They aren't. That's obvious from reading the text of the proposed bill but if they do slip through somehow and are paying premiums which pay for their healthcare how is that hurting anyone? Seems like it would cost the American taxpayer less than if they go to an emergancy room and can't pay.

      I bet the right will be waiting for a illegal alien will walk into ER to get treatment and that someone from a hospital will call their office, radio, or TV station and say that they treated an illegal alien. Except how will they know that person is a illegal?

      OHHH! Have them show their birth certificate. Of course that will not work because they think the president is an illegal and want to deny him coverage as well. WTF is wrong with these people? LOL!

      If any illegal gets coverage, they wouldn't be doing so legally. That seems to be a point that conservatives are missing.

        Conservatives may as well claim that this bill allows people to rob banks, ignoring laws already against it.

      That's quite a quote at the end: "They're still going to be illegal, regardless of the law."

      Wha?
