is in word smithing. They are experts at being able to say something like illegals are not covered....and that is what the bill may well state. But much of the discussion for many weeks on the subject...there is nothing in the law that prohibits them from applying. Back then there was no proof of citizenship in the bill. There were words like, nothing in the bill would/could stop an application....as usual grounds for rejection were all but non existent....it was also discussed they may well be entitled depending on their income level, supplemental help to pay for it.

So they are all right. Until and unless there is comprehensive language the average citizen can understand, the lawmakers WILL walk the side of ambiguity...so they can deliver for their constituents....to a politician the magic is to be able to say yes or no to any question asked....usually the same question.

If any believe illegals will be excluded you no doubt also believe the health care reform will not cost one dime!!
