Do you honestly think people go to the emergency room for stuff like that if they can't afford insurance? No they don't, they go with out treatment and die. People that do go to the emergency room for treatments that could of been taken care of by a regular doctor if they had insurance fit the second part of what I said. They end up in financial ruin.

Illegal immigration? Really why is it people on the right always brings up illegal immigration at election time then it's never heard from again till the next election? All those farmers out there running their farms using illegals, you really think the guys running the farms are voting democrat? You think people from red states which a large part of them depend on farming income are really trying to do anything about illegals?

Get real... If you think that, then why is it when Reagan was president he did nothing about illegals? Why is it when Bush Sr. Was president he did nothing about illegals? Why is it when Clinton was president suddenly the right makes a big deal about illegals? Why is it the 8 years after Clinton was out of office and Bush Jr. Was president he did nothing about illegals? Why is it soon as Obama was elected suddenly illegals were a big deal?

Seriously., do you really think about what you say when you just toss out dumb right wing talking points?

You want to deny American citizens access to affordable health insurance because illegals might abuse it?
