Rep. Lou Barletta (R-Pa.) has introduced the Verify First Act, H.R. 2581, to ensure that illegal aliens cannot qualify for taxpayer-funded health insurance credits. The House of Representatives will vote on this bill on June 13.
The Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs reported that more than $700 million in Obamacare subsidies had been paid to ineligible aliens by 2015. The Verify First Act simply requires the Social Security Administration (SSA) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to actually verify the citizenship or immigration status of every applicant for a credit under the AHCA before the Treasury Department issues the credit.
Hard-working Americans and legal residents already are struggling to pay for their own health care. There is simply no excuse for the Federal government to force them to subsidize health care for illegal aliens through taxpayer-funded credits.

Wait just a minute. I distinctly remember Obama, the President of the United States, telling me that no illegal immigrants would get health care through the ACA. He said it. It must be true. The President couldn't get away with lying about something like that. The press would be down in neck in a heartbeat. He would be impeached. So, this can't be true.
