Rush was making an absurd statement to demonstrate the total stupidity of this issue. This is a non issue since the federal government should have no involvement in it and the fact that there are congressional hearings on it is absurd.
When are people going to understand that just because a service is covered by health insurance the service is NOT free. The insurance company simply prices it into the insurance premium and you pay them instead of the pharmacy. The pharmacy is paid by the insurance company. That process is more expensive than simply paying the pharmacy yourself. Health insurance is a big reason health care is so expensive and until we change to high deductible plans that only cover large losses things will not get better.

This country is spinning out of control in funding things that should not be. We fund benefits for illegals, drug users and it comes out of anyone who pays taxes.. yet we do not collect taxes the illegals or drug users because they are either not in the tax system or do not work.
You want a state or federal benefit? You need to be required to pass a drug screening to get them and periodically take a drug screening to stay on them. I have to take a drug screening to get the job that pays taxes so you can get the $$$, least you can do is pass the same test.
Illegals? you are a criminal, you should be deported back to your country, not just over the border but 100+ miles into your country into a large city and left there..
You should not reap the benefits of what the USA has to offer unless you are willing to contribute back, in the form of taxes. Become a Citizen and be a part of what has funded you in the first place..
