Schwarzenegger health plan: might be open to illegal aliens

Arnold Schwarzenegger - California's Bush-resembling, Mexico-pandering, Rove/Kennedy/Mexico-linked governor - wants some sort of universal health care for California. He hasn't released the details yet, but the plan might include illegal aliens and some pro-American California Republicans are objecting:
"California is not responsible for paying for the medical care of the undocumented -- people who are here illegally, period," said Sen. Dave Cox, R-Fair Oaks (Sacramento County). "We are not the health maintenance organization for Mexico."

...But the governor said Sunday on a national TV news program that his goal was to extend coverage to all 6.7 million Californians who are without health insurance -- a figure that includes an estimated 1.6 million undocumented immigrants, according to figures from the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research.

A spokeswoman for Schwarzenegger would not comment Wednesday directly on the warnings from GOP lawmakers. But Kim Belshe, the governor's secretary of Health and Human Services, said in a statement that debate over health care reform needs to include undocumented immigrants.

"Uncompensated costs imposed by the medically indigent, including undocumented residents, place significant burdens on the state's health care system, particularly emergency rooms," she said. "Any debate about California's health care system demands examination of the impact of this population."

..."I don't believe there would be any support for [illegal aliens getting the benefits]," said Assemblyman Mike Villines, R-Clovis (Fresno County), the newly elected minority leader. "The health care debate -- and it will be a debate -- will be about what should be done for the legal citizens of California."

yes Paule that is sad, but it is up to people to stop this evil and to do the only thing that can be done. buy guns for all our dead who lived for a great nation and start understanding who the enemies of freedom are.

My son who is 32 lived in California over half his life until 6 weeks ago when he was diagnosed with liver cancer. He was placed at the top of the transplant list which means he has less than a year to live without a transplant. He had been teaching GED classes to prisoners in the California state prison system, going into San Quentin and Folsom. He was fired from his job when he got sick. When he applied for MediCal he was assured he would get it, to go ahead and go to Stanford Hospital for the pretransplant blood and tissue sampling and the scans. When he got to Stanford he was turned away on the basis that he had been denied MediCal because he should be able to continue working until he gets a transplant!!! Now, California gives away free medical care to the literally millions of illegal aliens who have overrun the state, but it refuses to take care of one of its own. My son had to move up to Portland Oregon where his brother lives, and within a week was approved for the Oregon Health Plan and has been getting chemotherapy for 4 weeks now. Thank God for the good people of Oregon! California should be ashamed of itself for allowing itself to be turned into a third world cesspool.

My son who is 32 lived in California for over half of his life until 6 weeks ago when he was diagnosed with liver cancer. He taught English and math to prisoners in the California state prison system, going into such places as San Quentin and Folsom. When he was diagnosed he was fired from his job. He had been placed at the top of the liver transplant meaning that without a transplant he has less than a year to live. He applied for MediCal and was turned down, because, if you can imagine this, he was told by the state worker that he should be able to continue working until he gets the transplant!!! He had been told that he would be approved, to go ahead and go to Stanford Hospital and have the pretransplant blood and tissue testing and scans done. He was turned away from Stanford because he was then told that he was not approved for MediCal. California is a state that gives away literally free medical care to millions of illegal aliens but refused to take care of one of its own. That is inexcusable. My son moved to Portland Oregon where his brother lives and in less than a week was approved for Oregon Health Plan and has been receiving chemotherapy for four weeks now. California should be ashamed of itself! It has let illegals by sheer force of numbers turn it into a third world cesspool.

watchdog its a way to take us down as a nation and it is a win, win for the political rats inside this so called government, when it falls apart the third world population can be used to remove the enemy who donn't make this lie work, meaning the white Americans in other words play the blame game and point the finger at people who can't fight back against the enemy. its all about the death of this nation and the mass murder of its people, bin laden will be happy.

How does he think we can pay for universal health care?
