It Pays to Tell the Truth

....... but it REALLY pays (and saves as we will see later) to accurately point out when others are not. Enter stage RIGHT Rep. Joe Wilson of South Carolina who has recently broken the 1 million dollar mark in fundraising.

The out pouring of support comes on the heels of one of the most “despicable, disrespectful and disgraceful” acts ever committed by an individual, anywhere at anytime. WARNING the video below contains graphic language and is not suitable for enlightened, science based, stage two thinkers:

Wilson may end up with more donations than any other candidate in 2010.

He spoke his mind, offered his apology, and now is standing his ground and using the opportunity to reinforce his original opinion.

Wilson lied since illegals clearly aren't covered and should be punished for yelling lies during a presidential address. Why would you encourage yelling out lies?

Everything the right wing extremists try to say on this issue is a lie and will further alienate the rational republicans until you come a fringe party.

Congressional Research Agency Confirms Illegal Aliens Will Get Health Benefits Under House Bill


The House bill creates an "exchange" and "all individuals," which would include illegal aliens, are eligible to participate in the exchange. Anyone who participates in the exchange, and does not otherwise have health insurance, can either enroll in the public option plan created by the House bill or enroll in a private insurance plan.

Accordingly, the first loophole that provides illegal aliens with health insurance is the ability for illegal aliens to freely enroll in the taxpayer-subsidized public option. According to CRS, "H.R. 3200 does not contain any restrictions on non-citizens — whether legally or illegally present, or in the United States temporarily or permanently — from participating in the Exchange." (CRS Report). Accordingly, illegal aliens can enroll in the public option, courtesy of the American taxpayers, to meet their health insurance needs. (See CNN.com, August 2009).

The second major loophole is the failure to require any meaningful verification procedure for taxpayer-subsidized insurance credits. Under the House bill, individuals who buy private insurance through the Exchange may receive an affordability credit to offset the cost of insurance. This credit is ostensibly limited to individuals lawfully present in the U.S., but CRS (like FAIR) notes the complete absence of any provision in the House bill that requires verification of eligibility for the affordability credits.

Without such a mechanism, there is nothing in the bill that will prevent illegal aliens from receiving this taxpayer subsidy to buy private health insurance.

Read the CRS report on ObamaCare's treatment of illegal immigrants

In its' subsection on health insurance subsidies (known as "affordability credits"), HR 3200 does state, "Nothing in this subtitle shall allow Federal payments for affordability credits on behalf of individuals who are not lawfully present in the United States."

That would seem to solve the problem, but it's more rhetoric than reality.

The bill contains no verification requirement or enforcement process for citizenship or legal residency, as exists for other federal benefit programs.

The only verification required for the subsidies pertains to family income. Beyond that, as the CRS report notes, everything is left in the hands of the Health Choices Commissioner.

House Democrats defeated all attempts in committee to add an enforcement mechanism that would require proof of citizenship or legal residency for those getting subsidies.
 
Ok watched it twice. Sounds like the typical groaning that goes on but for some reason whoever made the video cuts it off really quick. Also no indication it's dems making the noises.

Big difference from Wilson shouting out things.
 
Why should he have to apologize to the rest of Congress? That's just dumb. If he did owe an apology to anyone, it would be to Obama and he apologized to him already.
