Medical Care for More Illegal Aliens?

Before it passed, I pointed out that All Kids' primary purpose was to pay for medical care of illegal aliens.

If you do an internet search, maybe you can find more that the two references to that possibility that I found (in the Quincy and Crystal Lake daily papers) before the bill passed, but I doubt it.

Senator Chris Lauzen was the first to send something out with the documentation.

The first mainstream media guy to agree was Dick Kay on Chicago Tonight.

That fact was confirmed, but not until after the bill became law.

(If you want to see how the All Kids revelation developed, you can find links in this story. )

Wednesday, I listened to news broadcasts.

Today, I read the articles.

I heard and read nothing about whether those without health care benefits who would benefit from Governor Rod Blagojevich’s “Illinois Covered” will have to be legally in the United States.

Would the Chicago Tribune, Chicago Sun-Times, Daily Herald, Associated Press and others please provide the answer BEFORE the legislation is voted upon this time around?

If folks want to support paying for such health care, that is, of course, their right.

Bur public discourse is not well served if the contents of legislation as pioneering as this is not known by legislators' constituents before it is voted upon.
