This is just funny. Seems like when a poster child / scapegoat appears it’s so easy to forget what the real issues are. Seems like the rep is getting hammered for screaming “you lie” and disagreeing to the pres. Seems he voted to give health care to illegals in the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003, which contained Sec. 1011 authorizing $250 million annually between 2003 and 2008 for government reimbursements to hospitals who provide treatment for uninsured illegal immigrants..

Well if you look into the Sec.1011 of the bill, that is the only little part of this otherwise billion page bill, It actually helps reimburse the hospitals for providing EMERGENCY SERVICES to ILLEGALS. Basically trying to help the hospitals with the cost incurred from not turning away these illegals when they need help after cutting off their fingers.

Seems to be he voted to help our hospitals and not the illegals. Unless your a left-wing liberal and looking to crucify someone in order to get the attention off of your f’d up problems.
Oh well just a thought. Please feel free to correct me on anything. Always open for discussion.
