(See pg 7) Exchange
Under H.R. 3200, a “Health Insurance Exchange” would begin operation in 2013 and would offer private plans alongside a public option. The Exchange would not be an insurer; it would provide eligible individuals and small businesses with access to insurers’ plans, including the public option, in a comparable way. Individuals would only be eligible to enroll in an Exchange plan if they were not enrolled in other acceptable coverage (for example, from an employer, Medicare and generally Medicaid). H.R. 3200 does not contain any restrictions on noncitizens—whether legally or illegally present, or in the United States temporarily or permanently—participating in the Exchange. However, as discussed above, H.R. 3200 would only mandate that resident aliens would be required to have health insurance. |
What do the other two House Bills say...about coverage for noncitizens? I would also point out that there are two bills in the Senate...so currently there are five bills under consideration and once there is a single bill in the House and a single bill in the Senate the two bills will then have to be resolved into a single bill to be signed by the President. So...at this point there is not a bill that is conclusive on any aspect that is under consideration so it would be totally inaccurate to say someone is lying about "THE BILL" as there is not any bill that is "THE BILL".
