Chelsea Clinton: My Mommy wants Obamacare for Illegals
“Regardless of immigration status, regardless of citizenship status.”
While speaking to Hillary supporters in Salt Lake City this week, Chelsea Clinton was asked by an attendee if her mother would extend Obamacare benefits to people in the country illegally. Naturally, she said yes.
Thomas Lifson of the American Thinker:
Chelsea Clinton reveals her mom thinks it is ‘important’ to extend Obamacare to illegal aliens
So any family that can ante-up plane fare for the kids and one or more parent to JFK, Miami, Los Angeles or any other international terminal, or that can sneak across the border, is here to stay, once Hillary becomes president. And in addition to all the other goodies this country bestows upon people with low incomes, now the $600k a year former NBC correspondent Chelsea Clinton has declared that Obamacare will be extended to illegals.
AUDIENCE MEMBER: “Is she planning on expanding Obamacare as people know it, ACA, to include people who are not fully documented? Because when you get ill, your illness will not ask you if you are a permanent resident or not.”
CLINTON: “It’s such an important question. Thank you for supporting my mom. My mom has very strong feelings that we must push as quickly as possible for comprehensive immigration reform, and this is a real difference between her’s and Senator Sanders’ record, she supported comprehensive immigration reform at every possible chance and she was one of the original supporters and sponsors of the DREAM Act. She does not believe that while we are working towards comprehensive immigration reform we should make people wait, like the families you are talking about. Which is why she thinks it’s so important to extend the Affordable Care Act to people who are living and working here, regardless of immigration status, regardless of citizenship status.

Of course, illegal immigrants who come here for Obamacare may be disappointed.

Hillary Clinton’s Dead-End Solution To Rising Obamacare Premiums
As the number of people enrolling in Obamacare Exchanges is falling below the Obama administration’s targets, Hillary Clinton faced a tough question at a “town hall” meeting in Ohio on Sunday night. Theresa O’Donnell, a Democratic-leaning voter complained that Obamacare caused her family’s health insurance premiums to double from $5,880 per year to $12,972 per year. “I would like to vote Democratic, but it’s costing me a lot of money,” O’Donnell pleaded. “I am just wondering if Democrats really realize how difficult it’s been on working-class Americans to finance Obamacare.” The audience applauded O’Donnell, showing once again that, really, not even Democrats like Obamacare.
Clinton’s answer was confident, lucid, and totally incoherent. It amounted to this: (1) shop around on the Exchange for a better deal, which might not make a difference; then elect me and I’ll (2) reduce your copays and your deductibles and your premiums; and (3) encourage more non-profit health insurance companies to compete in the Exchanges.
Clinton acknowledged her first solution might not help.
You don’t say.

LOL. Yes, just because some foreigner is illegally living in our country, not paying taxes, and violating all sorts of employment, document fraud, and other laws, that doesn’t mean that person should have to wait before he/she can start collecting all those wonderful taxpayer-funded freebies!
Because deliberate law-breaking should never have any adverse consequences associated with it, or people might actually start thinking that obeying the law is a good thing — and we certainly don’t want to encourage that, do we Chelsea?
Question – What do you get when you cross a crooked lawyer with a crooked politician?
Answer – Chelsea Clinton.
Woof
What is Trump’s position regarding his universal healthcare substitute for obamacare, paid by the government, for the illegals who he will deport then let back in?
Otherwise framed: How different is Trump’s position than Hillary’s as articulated by Chelsea?
It’s really very small “d” democratic. American laws don’t apply to Hillary … and they shouldn’t apply to anyone else, either. Can’t get any fairer than that.
Only if they vote democrat. If they are republican voters you’d better believe the laws apply to them.
Your mommy is selling out the citizen to favor the invader. What is constitutional about having the citizen pick up the tab for foreign nationals whether they are in this country illegally or remain in their own countries? Hillary is a crook, a hack and a traitor.
Good. Let them have Obamacare and give us back free market health care. Works for me.
Of course, if I walked into Chelsea’s house, fixed myself and a dozen friends a great dinner hitting the wine cellar more than a few times, she would have us arrested.
If Monica Lewinsky’s boyfriend’s wife wants to pick up the tab for millions of illegals, let her. She might have to take some of it out of little Chelsea’s monthly penthouse-and-champagne stipend, but I’m sure she could work something out.
“My Mommy wants Obamacare for Illegals”
Excellent headline. If Chelsea Clinton wrote a book called “How I made It On my Own” it would be one page long.
What the heck, let’s just add the whole world to Obamacare? Then they might not bother moving here. Might be cheaper to reimburse med care overseas rather than also pay all the other bennies illegals get.
Immigrants with nothing more than temporary status or even no status at all, just a pending application, can already sign up for Obamacare. See link: https://www.healthcare.gov/immigrants/immigration-status/
Is there a dumber-looking, more useless corrupt cretin than this bozo?
Well yes – her mother.
