The statement you questioned was all non US citizens, legal or not, will be ptovided with health care services. On pages 50 and 58 of the health care bill considered by Congress, the statements about health care and national ID cards were very clear.

• Page 50: All non-US citizens, illegal or not, will be provided with free health care services.
• Page 58: Every person will be issued a National ID Health card.

Below are pages 50 and 58 in their entirety ... can you please point out to me where page 50 mentions "All non-US citizens, illegal or not"?

And where does page 58 state that "Every person will be issued a National ID Health card"?

Maybe you are reading a different version of the bill than I am ... I am posting the source for my version of the bill.

Thanks.
