RUSH: At the White House press briefing this afternoon, Baghdad Bob, Robert Gibbs, answered a question from a reporter: ‘Is Obama going into this netroot online questioning session today expecting to get flak from his base?\u2019<\/p>\n

GIBBS: I\u2019ve watched newscasts just this week where people have said illegal immigrants are going to get health care as a result of this bill, despite the fact that the president said six weeks ago that wasn\u2019t true and said 26 minutes ago that that wasn\u2019t true. We\u2019ll see if those rumors can finally be put to bed based on the truth.<\/p>\n

PLANTE: Well, since you bring that up wouldn\u2019t the American-born children for illegal immigrants be eligible for health care?<\/p>\n

GIBBS: I don\u2019t know what the provisions are.<\/p>\n

PLANTE: Well, they\u2019re American citizens.<\/p>\n

GIBBS: I\u2019d have to look at that aspect of the bill.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Did you people hear this? ‘Baghdad Bob\u2019 Robert Gibbs: ‘There\u2019s not going to be health insurance coverage for these illegal aliens. It isn\u2019t going to happen. Six weeks ago he said it, said it 26 minutes ago.\u2019 ‘Well, what about the children?\u2019 ‘Well, I don\u2019t know. I don\u2019t know what the provisions are.\u2019 If you don\u2019t know what the provisions are, what are you doing answering the question for, Baghdad Bob? Plante says, ‘Well, they\u2019re American citizens.\u2019 Gibbs: ‘I have to look at that aspect of the bill.\u2019 He doesn\u2019t have a bill. This is the bottom line when Obama says that there\u2019s no insurance coverage for illegals, he can\u2019t hold up his bill and say, ‘Right, here it is! On page 4,030, it says here, plain as day: ‘No insurance and coverage for illegals.” He can\u2019t say it because it\u2019s not there; and in the House bill, it is. To the phones we go, to Virginia Beach, Virginia. This is Don. I\u2019m glad you called, sir, thank you for waiting hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, gosh thank you, Rush. I\u2019m really pleased to be on your show.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: And I want to thank you sticking with the conversation about H.R. 3200. It\u2019s so important, and it\u2019s amazing to me…<\/p>\n

RUSH: Hang on for just a second. For those of you in Rio Linda and Port St. Lucie, H.R. 3200 is the House health care bill.<\/p>\n

CALLER: (chuckling) I downloaded it from the government printing office. It\u2019s the PDF with the page numbers, and I can\u2019t believe people won\u2019t read this. Because it\u2019s not that we\u2019re lying; it\u2019s in there. And I\u2019m not a liar. I can read it. And I think I found something that might be of interest to everybody because, right in the bill — on page 124, on page 288, and a third time in 325, and it\u2019s probably more — there is a thing called limitation review. Agencies are supposed to have a way that an individual, if you got in trouble with their law you can address it, you can get arbitration or see a court. This specifically denies that. So the minute this whole bill becomes a law it\u2019s beyond the reach of any citizen, forever. I mean, how would you…? As far as I can see —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait. Whoa, whoa, wait just a second. I don\u2019t mean to be arguing or disagreeing with you, but I have seen a little segment on an appeals process in this. It\u2019s convoluted and it\u2019s not very strong —<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, I guess I haven\u2019t found that.<\/p>\n

RUSH: There is something about an appeals process in it.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, see, these three pages — when you have the time to look — from page 124 under limitations on review, it says specifically: ‘There will be no administrative or judicial review.\u2019 Now, maybe it only applies to that section, but that means you couldn\u2019t take them to court, you can\u2019t get arbitration, and that might also mean that the Supreme Court will never see this. ‘Cause as far as I know the Supreme Court only reviews a case. It doesn\u2019t just go out and look for things to worry about.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, Obama\u2019s counting on the Supreme Court hearing a lot of this. But the Supreme Court… On illegal immigration, for example, the Supreme Court has already said illegals are entitled to citizenship services. They\u2019ve already ruled that. So at least when it comes to illegals being covered under Obama\u2019s plan, the Supreme Court\u2019s already taken care of that. A lot of people have read the bill, Don, and that\u2019s why there are so many of them showing up at these town hall meetings to protest. But I\u2019m going to have review it myself because I know there\u2019s a small section in there on appeals. You\u2019re talking about judicial review, meaning who do you sue, but there\u2019s an appeal. If you\u2019re denied some coverage or if you\u2019re denied this, you can appeal it. But remember who you\u2019re appealing it to. You\u2019re appealing it to the same people that run the Cash-for-Clunkers program. And your appeals… You\u2019re going to die before the appeals process is heard. It\u2019s all a moot point anyway. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
