Last night SC Congressman Joe Wilson shouted \u201cyou lie\u201d when President Obama made the claim that illegal immigrants will not be covered in the pending health care bill. I agree we must maintain respect, but when the American people aren’t being told the whole truth, wasn’t President Obama ignoring decorum? Nevertheless, <\/span>Rep. Wilson has apologized for the outburst and the White House has accepted. End of story.<\/p>\n

The real question is this: who\u2019s telling lies? It all depends on what the definition of is is.<\/p>\n

President Obama is correct in that the bill contains language prohibiting illegal immigrant coverage in Section 246:<\/p>\n

SEC. 246. NO FEDERAL PAYMENT FOR UNDOCUMENTED ALIENS .<\/em><\/p>\n

Nothing in this subtitle shall allow Federal payments for affordability credits on behalf of individuals who are not lawfully present in the United States.<\/em><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the problem. There is no verification process for coverage. I\u2019m still researching this, but for now, I can\u2019t find a mechanism to verify citizenship. So technically the president is correct but in reality Rep. Wilson is correct. <\/span>Unless this bill is amended, illegal immigrants will receive health care coverage.<\/p>\n

Its like a speeding limit law with no enforcement provision and no penalty would be practically useless.<\/p>\n

There was an effort to make this amendment, yet these efforts were defeated. Hopefully, this occurrence will enlighten the public to demand a change in the legislation.<\/p>\n

Here’s a link to the bill. If ya’ll find a verification, please show me.<\/a><\/p>\n

Also, palmettoscoop.com<\/a> is offering t-shirts in support of the Congressman<\/p>\n
