"Illegal immigrants got $750 Million in Obamacare"...

[Bigmack]

Saw that on FB... about a day old.

The post says the Republicans on the Homeland Security Committee made a report to that effect. I cannot find the report itself... every RWnut site on earth references the Fox News(?) piece. Fox doesn't re-direct to the actual report, either.

Anybody have anything on this? I have the snopes and Politifact denials that it could happen all ready to post, but are there any new developments? I'm wondering if Fox just made it up out of whole cloth.

Anybody know about this?

1. I hope it is true. I want all human beings to be given needed healthcare.

2. I have no problem

...with providing healthcare to those who need it.

[Bigmack]

4. Me neither.... but....

I can't believe a story from Fox, can I?

I was just hoping somebody knew how to get the actual, bullshit Republican report.

[Bjornsdotter]

5. Agreed!

It's one of those numbers that keeps changing. I think Fox spins a wheel to pick the numbers.

6. Here:

http://www.politifact.com/florida/statements/2013/jul/09/chain-email/illegal-immigrants-are-covered-under-health-care-l/

"given all the talk about potential immigration reform, one line jumped out:

"The bill will provide insurance to all non-U.S. residents, even if they are here illegally," the email states.

Make no mistake, this line is wrong in the context of the 2009 law (Pants on Fire! wrong, in fact), and wrong in the context of the health care bill President Barack Obama signed into law in 2010."

7. I had that one ready to reply, but it's from 2013...the "report" is from 2 days ago. nt

8. Okay

It's just more nonsense I'm sure...

[Bigmack]

9. Me, too...but I want to nail it down and crush the guy who posted that POS. Nt

10. You have to have a social security number

Are there some people with fake SS cards and green cards? Of course!

[Nye Bevan]

11. Wow. That's terrible. We spent about $2 per person treating illegal immigrants who had cancer,

heart attacks, and other diseases? Obviously the party that is big on Jesus Christ would have a huge problem with that.

12. Just another "Bullshit Conservative" chain e mail....

I put all people that send this stuff to me, in my spam folder...I'm still not on Facebook

13. Obamacare subsidies are tied directly to your taxes

The more you make the lower the subsidy

If an illegal immigrant is some how paying taxes then I guess you could get something.

If you don't file a return then your subsidy would be $0.00

So the claim is bullshit.
