Will illegal immigrants be covered?

I am opposed to Obama-care, but not for all the same reasons as your typical right-wing nut. I am opposed to Obama-care because I think that it will neither lower costs or improve quality of care. I am also extremely skeptical of government and oppose this massive centralization of power by the Federal government. I will discuss my opposition and skepticism of this bill in later posts. For this post, I want to focus on the coverage of illegal immigrants. I have a solution; legalize every single one of these immigrants. I am disturbed by the anti-immigrant rhetoric coming from the right. Once again what is needed is immigration reform. There are issues that government should be dealing with: immigration reform, tort reform, removing restrictions on foreign nurses and doctors, loosening licensing requirements, education, and free trade, etc. These are the issues when the economy is good and when it is bad. I saw a letter to Newsday from a registered nurse who was saying that it would be terrible to bring in foreign nurses and that we need more American workers. Don't want those high skilled, productive workers ruining our economy by lowering the price of health care. Then the government would have no excuse to accumulate this massive amount of power. There can be no real conservative(limited government) movement if this bill passes because people will be dependent on government. Seniors will not vote against medicare and a dependent population will not vote against Obama-care once it is in place. This fear of foreign workers on both the distribution and consumption sides of health care is terribly unhelpful.
