The growing number of “48 million uninsured” includes perhaps 15 million illegal aliens
All four bills that had passed committees as of September would allow illegal aliens to take part in Health Insurance Exchanges
The current cost to all levels of government for treating uninsured illegals is estimated to be $4.3 billion, primarily at emergency rooms and free clinics (Newsmax.com 9/8/09).

NEBRASKA:
Sen. Ben Nelson struck a deal with Senate leaders in which his state, Nebraska, won't have to pay the same cost of expanding Medicaid as other states.

Taxpayers pay for ABORTIONS?
