Too many errors and obfuscations to counter right now, but "Government run health care will be available to the 10 million plus illegal immigrants already in this country and will be an attraction for yet more to come" is a perfect example of the outright LIES being propagated by those who are bought-and-paid for by the for-profit insurance industry, and those who are too ignorant to apply critical thinking when they hear such claims. The main versions of the plans being presented ALL explicitly forbid illegals from being insured. Granted, there is no provision (yet) for identifying illegal immigrants and preventing their enrollment, but with Medicaid it has proven to be an insignificant problem. And one which could be rectified in any case. It might occur in very small numbers, but, hey!, it's a great talking point with which to stir up the rabble who are already inclined to fear and racism.
