Paradoxical Quote of The Day From Ben Stein:
« on: August 24, 2012, 07:32:53 am »

You know that all the animals are equal; It’s just that some are more equal than others!






















 



"Fathom the hypocrisy of a government that requires every citizen to prove they are insured... but not everyone must prove they are a citizen."



Now add this, "Many of those who refuse, or are unable, to prove they are citizens will receive free insurance paid for by those who are forced to buy insurance because they are citizens."

What's with the giant space in your post? Should there be a picture there?

I think this should be discussed. Does the new healthcare bill cover illegals and the like?

While the bill does have parts to state that it will not cover illegals, it provides no method to determine the citizenship status of those applying and thus will ultimately end up covering them.  On an unrelated note, it has been estimated that we will be paying over 7 billion in income tax returns to illegal aliens this year through the Additional Child Tax Credit and this is nearly double that which was given out in 2011 (4.2 billion).  Unlike the case above, this is because the IRS is discouraged from checking the validity of the claims, and not that they have no mechanism. 
There are only 10 types of people in the world:  those who understand binary, and those who don't.
