California legislators have passed a bill which would allow illegal immigrants to purchase insurance on the state?s Obamacare exchange. The bill first has to be signed by Gov. Jerry Brown and then the change would need to be approved by the federal government.
If approved, the change would break another promise made by President Obama when selling the law to Americans. During a 2009 address to Congress Obama said, ?There are also those who claim that our reform efforts would insure illegal immigrants.? He added, ?This too is false. The reforms I?m proposing would not apply to those who are here illegally.? That was when Rep. Joe Wilson famously interjected, ?You lie!? The break in decorum earned him an official rebuke.
