They had to pass Obamacare so we could find out what’s in it. Every new revelation brings more bad news. The latest is that the federal government will fund migrant health care centers that won’t be checking the immigration status of patients. We should just put up a sign at the border that says “Enter illegally and get free health care.” Good grief.
CNS News reported:
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced on Tuesday that it has awarded $28.8 million to 67 community health centers with funds from the Obamacare health reform law.
Of that $28.8 million, “approximately $8.5 million will be used by 25 New Access Point awardees to target services to migrant and seasonal farm workers,” Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Spokeswoman Judy Andrews told CNSNews.com. HRSA is a part of HHS.
Andrews said that grant recipients will not check the immigration status of people seeking services.
“Health centers do not, as a matter of routine practice, ask about or collect data on citizenship or other matters not related to the treatment needs of the patients seeking health services at the center,” Andrews said.
Further, the grant recipients are required to serve ”all residents” who walk through their doors. (Read More)
