FAIR Leads The Way in Exposing Health Insurance Loophole for Illegal Immigrants
FAIR's Ira Melhman explains in his latest op-ed for Townhall that defenders of the health insurance proposal in Congress are ignoring the loophole for illegal immigrants. "The complete omission of language barring illegal aliens from coverage under a government-run insurance program, and the Mack Truck-size loophole in the affordability credit provision, are not mere oversights. Section 245 contains three pages of text directing the government to verify income eligibility for this new health insurance program. The authors of the bill, however, did not seem to think similar verification requirements for immigration status was important enough to also include in the bill."
