On Friday, Democrats moved one step closer to giving free healthinsurance to the nation’s estimated 12 million illegal aliens when theysuccessfully defeated a Republican-backed amendment, offered by Rep.Dean Heller, R-Nev., that would have prevented illegal aliens fromreceiving government-subsidized health care under the proposed planbacked by House Democrats and President Barack Obama.
The House Ways and Means Committee nixed the Heller amendmentby a 26-to-15 vote along straight party lines, and followed this actionby passing the 1,018-page bill early Friday morning by a 23-to-18margin, with three Democrats voting against the plan.
The Democratic plan will embrace Obama’s vision of bringingfree government medical care to more than 45 million uninsured peoplein America – a significant portion of whom are illegal aliens.

A recent Rasmussen Reports poll found that an overwhelming 80percent of Americans oppose covering illegals in any public health carebill.
Anti-immigration activists say the availability of low-costbenefits, including health insurance and in-state tuition, will onlylure more immigrants to come to the United States.
Political analyst Dick Morris, in his recently releasedbest-selling book “Catastrophe”, warns that giving illegal free healthcare will lead to a flood of new illegals who can take advantage ofsuch a benefit not offered in their home countries.
