Proposal to make Illinois first state to provide health care to low-income immigrants – WGNTV (Chicago)

House bill 4437 expands health care coverage to nearly 150,000 low income immigrants ages 19 to 54, who don’t have coverage through either the Affordable Care Act or Medicaid. The bill has a price tag of $271 million, but supporters say in the end it will save tax payers money.

It will save who money?? As a small business owner – we are taking it in the arse again as those costs will come right at us as an increase in premiums. Can’t wait.

Supporting illegal immigration and payouts from the pocket books of American citizens is criminal. Almost as criminal is stating taxpayers will save money.

Free health care for illegal immigrants is a nice pairing with free education. My local school fully supports the education for the children of Mexico. The tax money for all this “free” stuff just magically appears.

This seems to correlate with the crazy influx of illegal immigrants crossing over the border and settling in Chicago.

True to form, the only African American sponsoring this was appointed to his seat.

Rep. Delia C. Ramirez – Barbara Hernandez, Bob Morgan, Daniel Didech, Angelica Guerrero-Cuellar, Kelly M. Cassidy, Aaron M. Ortiz, Will Guzzardi, Theresa Mah and Kambium Buckner

Moloch wants you to murder your babies in the womb but uses your tax dollars to support the children of illegal immigrants.

She is the devil, literally the devil.
