The Poor Will Get "Nearly Free" Insurance

Yesaterday there was a report that "President Barack Obama's health care law would let several middle class people get nearly free insurance meant for the poor."

That's the problem with Obamacare. The poor will continue to be taken care of, so there'll be no need for them to stop having kids, get an education, get a job, and take care of themselves. No - their insurance will be "nearly free."

Why?

Because, just - like - today - their insurance will be paid for by the middle class.

And what is the middle class. I read a few months ago that a family making $40,000 a year is eligible for food stamps! How ridiculous is that!
RUSH: President Obama's health care law, you heard this? "President Barack Obama's health care law would let several million middle-class people get nearly free insurance meant for the poor, a twist government number crunchers say they discovered only after the complex bill was signed." Oh, really? "Up to 3 million more people could qualify for Medicaid in 2014 as a result of the anomaly. That's because, in a major change from today, most of their Social Security benefits would no longer be counted as income for determining eligibility. It might be compared to allowing middle-class people to qualify for food stamps," and they're trying to tell us this was an accident. They're trying to tell us this was an anomaly. They're trying to say, "Oh, gosh, you know what? We missed this. We didn't know that this was in the bill before it was signed." But somebody had to write it in there.

Now, one of the people who gets credit for writing, the actual pen to paper, was Weiner. Anthony Weiner either took it or was given it or a combination of both, credit for writing Obamacare. Somebody had to write it in there. Remember Pelosi said, "We gotta pass this to find out what's in it." Well, that's happening. And you know that there will be many more discoveries like this. Three million more people could qualify for Medicaid in 2014 as a result of this anomaly. Now, let me ask you a question. Three million middle-class people will get nearly free health insurance meant for the poor, who is paying for that? Other members of the middle class and people in the upper middle class and the wealthy. That's who will be paying for this. Anybody want to take any bets on the recipients saying, "No, no, I don't deserve this. I don't qualify." Any bets on people turning this down? I don't think so. I think the recipients will gladly accept the mistake 'cause this is what they thought it was gonna be in the first place. This is what they thought it was gonna be, free health care.

This is not an accident. This is how the left continues to massage people and get them dependent on government and expecting the government to do this kind of thing for them. And we only hear about it now after the bill is signed into law. And this line here, this is an AP story: "It might be compared to allowing middle-class people to qualify for food stamps." They do, don't they? Folks, if we got 54 million food stamp recipients I guarantee you some are middle-class people. You know there are. You may be one, for crying out loud. And if you're not a middle class person on food stamps I'm sure you've seen one, or a number of them at the market when you go in there.
