Senate Health Bill: Verification Loopholes Will Allow Illegal Aliens to Access Benefits
FAIR’s Government Relations team has just finalized a Legislative Analysis of the Senate health care reform bill (H.R. 3590) and its impact on immigration. As with FAIR’s previous analysis of the House health care bill, FAIR’s analysis of the Senate bill discussed three key immigration related issues: (1) changes to current law that would circumvent the provision of current law that requires legal aliens to wait five years before they can access certain taxpayer-funded health benefits; (2) the existence of verification loopholes that would allow illegal aliens to access these benefits; and (3) language that would not effectively prevent illegal aliens from accessing the taxpayer-subsidized “Exchange” marketplace. (USA Today, November 12, 2009).
Like the House-passed health care bill, the Senate bill also fails to address these issues in a way that protects the American taxpayers. Moreover, the Senate bill raises an additional issue in that it gives low-income legal immigrants the ability to receive taxpayer-subsidies so that they can choose which health insurance they want, while similarly situated American citizens would be denied this same freedom and forced to enroll in Medicaid. FAIR’s analysis has been posted on FAIR’s website.
FAIR has been working with two Senators who have indicated that they intend to offer amendments to correct these issues. While we can’t share specifics about these amendments at this time, we are hopeful these amendments will be voted on and will post details as they emerge. Keep checking our website for information as the immigration/health care debate unfolds.
