Just deny those foreigners medicine, maybe they'll all die

The Bushies are going to get rid of the illegal aliens one way or another. Now, they're going to deny them medical treatment. This is from the Boston Globe:

Almost all of the state's poorest residents will have to show proof of US citizenship to continue getting medical care by July 1, under a little-noticed federal law that could endanger coverage for many, as Massachusetts is trying to expand access to healthcare.

Born out of ongoing efforts in Washington to clamp down on illegal immigration, the new federal requirement compels anyone seeking Medicaid coverage to provide a birth certificate, a passport, or another form of identification in order to sign up for benefits or renew them.

No such proof is required now.

The requirement was tucked into the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005, which President Bush signed into law earlier this year.

I guess this is another one of those bills that no one was allowed to read before voting on it.
