WASHINGTON – U.S. Congressman Nathan Deal, R-Ga., today issued the following statement in response to President Obama’s address to Congress.
“As I anticipated the address that President Obama would give to Congress on the issue of healthcare reform, I had hoped the President would have used the month of August to read the bill which had been introduced in July or that he would write another piece of legislation.

Congressman Deal Offers Amendment to Prohibit Illegal Immigrants from Receiving Taxpayer Funded Healthcare
During the Energy and Commerce Committee mark-up of the Democrat healthcare reform proposal, Rep. Deal offered an amendment to ensure that illegal immigrants are not allowed to get US taxpayer-funded Medicaid benefits. The amendment offered by Rep. Deal would maintain the requirement in current law that all State Medicaid programs verify the citizenship status and identity of all applicants for Medicaid coverage. Rep. Deal was the author of this citizenship-verification requirement when it was originally enacted in 2006, and this amendment would have prevented the Democrats’ health reform bill from undermining this requirement. Unfortunately, the amendment was defeated on a largely party-line vote of 28 Yeas and 29 Nays.
