By the way, Joe Wilson lied from Daily Kos

 

Politifact:

Joe Wilson of South Carolina said Obama lied, but he didn't

...When we look at all of this evidence, it seems that health reform leaves in place the status quo on illegal immigration, and certainly does not provide any new benefits particularly for illegal immigrants....

The best argument that we find that health reform would help illegal immigrants is that some might be able to purchase the public option -- if it passes, and it might not -- on the new  health insurance exchange. They would purchase that at full cost. Obama's said "the reforms I'm proposing would not apply to those who are here illegally," which Wilson said was a "lie." Actually, Obama can make a pretty thorough case that reform doesn't apply to those here illegally. We don't find the public option argument enough to make the case that Obama "lied." We rate Wilson's statement False.

Make him pay.
