This country has gone insane!
These people are worried about 25 year olds getting free healthcare and that is why they deny it
Yet - this Government does nothing about our open borders after 9/11 and these 15,000,000 illegal aliens get our healthcare free all across our Nation every day and puts the bill on our hard earned tax dollars
Yes, America has lost its mind and backbone!

The 25yr olds included in this program represent only 1% or 2% of the total elegible participents. It's cherry-picking on the part of opponents to a program that has been successful in covering children whose parents make over the minimum requirements to qualify for other programs. This is not a brand new program, it's been around for 10 years but just now coming under the scrutinity of those people whom are against anything that the Democrats are for. It's too bad the children that need a program such as this are the ones that will suffer without it, all in the name of partisan politics.

There are special cases a 25 and younger should get health care. The children going to school lose health care around 21 on their parents policy and the jobs they get do not offer health care. What do they do? They work for min wage and gosh forbid they get ill or just their annual checkup is unaffordable to pay out right. It makes me laugh though the govt still has them as dependents until 25 and have to use their parents income and can not qualify for grants. So either they are or are not dependents. I would have been happy to keep my children on my health policy while in school if I would have been allowed. Something has to change then.
And yes I will be happy to help pay for any ones vaccines to keep me and mine safe even if it is an illegal citizen.

And the question is.... We should be giving health care to people that live in the united states that are citizens in the united states, not the illegal aliens that don't pay taxes because they usually don't use the correct name for themselves, or get paid under the table!

You don't have to be illegal to get free health care. Hospitals generally operate under the requirement that they must provide care. If you are legal and can prove your income is below certain limits, the hospital will charge off the amounts due.
I don't think we need to create a government program that gives people in the $70,000 income bracket free health care just because they have 4 kids.

Nobody is "denying" anything. Anybody can purchase health insurance. It just has to be a priority is people's lives. Give up the cell phone, cable tv, satellite tv, new car in the driveway, LCD HD tv. People CHOOSE TO NOT HAVE HEALTH CARE. Nobody is denied it....

I don't support any form of socialized health care and neither does the U.S. Constitution.

Illegals getting it is NOT Ok.
And by the way, immigrants without health insurance comprise 86% of the increase in so-called "Americans" without health insurance.

25 year olds are not children, only US citizens should qualify.
