Obama was right in his defense of Obamacare; so was the guy who called him a liar

In his appearance before Congress, President Barack Obama said this: "The reforms I am proposing would not apply to those who are here illegally."

To which, I reply, "So what? You answered a question, but you ducked the issue."

Illegal aliens have been getting health care, often at no cost, for years by merely showing up at hospital emergency rooms and complaining of illness or injury. National policy requires that those who show up at emergency rooms of American hospitals can not be turned away.

There is no reason to believe that that policy will be changed any time soon.

This means that Obama was technically correct in his argument.

Sow was the congressman who called Obama a "liar."

This means that, whether Obamacare is enacted or defeated, illegal aliens will continue to receive health care.
