Details on Obama’s Healthcare Plan

We’ve covered Obama’s healthcare plan and its impact on the healthcare sector previously here at Election Stocks, but new details about the plan are raising doubts that it could ever be put into place.
For instance, Obama stated that his plan will give healthcare insurance to 47 million Americans. But as the New York Post states:
That 47 million statistic includes illegal immigrants – who virtually all lack insurance. In fact, about one in four of those lacking insurance is here illegally. And they are, by far, the group most in need of health insurance.
American nationalists and nativists will surely think that free healthcare would encourage people to enter our country illegally. And considering McCain’s great handle of immigration (he was the governor of a Southwestern state, after all) this could be a deciding issue later in the Fall.
