Obama’s Fed-med: Who will be covered and impact on American taxpayers

Steven A. Camarota, Director of Research at the Center for Immigration Studies, presents an in-depth analysis of the actual impact of insuring the estimated 6.6 million uninsured illegal aliens in this country.

He writes that although HR 3200 states that illegal immigrants are not eligible for the proposed taxpayer-funded program, there is no enforcement provision in the bill. An amendment was defeated by the House Ways and Means Committee that would have required the use of the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) program, used by almost all other means-tested programs of this kind.

 We urge you to read this report: Illegal Immigrants and HR 3200: Estimate of Potential Costs to Taxpayers.
