The Obama administration has been helping to facilitate a series of events nationwide at Mexican Consulate offices to enroll people in Obamacare – and a key activist says the efforts are “our responsibility” regardless of citizenship.
“Whether they’re Mexican nationals or whether they’re United States citizens or whether they’re in transition-- and if they’re there it is our responsibility within all of America to educate on the Affordable Care Act,” Enroll America Field Organizer Jose Medrano told Breitbart News on Wednesday.
Health Care insurance navigator groups hosted an Obamacare enrollment fair on Tuesday in the Mexican Consulate’s Brownsville office, The Rio Grande Guardian reported last Friday, where Mexican nationals among others were counseled about enrolling in the ACA.
“The Mexican consulate is a very reliable source of information to the Latino community. And therefore when they host their events, yesterday being the health fair, there are several hundred people that show up,” Medrano said.
Under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) undocumented immigrants aren't supposed to be receiving government-run health benefits or subsidized coverage. However, President Barack Obama told Latinos in early March that the Healthcare.gov website would not be used to find out about an individual’s immigration status.
“None of the information that is provided in order for you to obtain health insurance is in any way transferred to immigration services,” he said.
According to Medrano, 101 families were represented at the ACA enrollment and education fair at the Brownsville Mexican Consulate on Tuesday and about 60 percent of them spoke to a health care counselor. Medrano says that the consulate’s office is helpful “as part of the transition” to “mainstream… America.”

Paging Joe Wilson....!!!
Illegals to get taxpayer subsidies too. So insurance companies make out like banditos while the American taxpayer gets squeezed like a lime over fajitas.
Illegals get free health care as it is. Why would they pay a premium for crappier coverage? Right now they get 100% coverage with no deductibles.
Poor Joe. Being right about Obama's Lies is no guarantee of fame. Probably the opposite.
As Latinos move inexorably toward a majority position in the nation's demographic, they will naturally rise to the top of the Democrat Party's freebiegoodies list. Si, se puede dominar el país.
Waiting for the African-American Community ... already outnumbered 3-1 to like, you know, ...wake up?
Doing whatever we can to make that magical 7 million enrollees number so his Highness won’t look even more like a doofus.
I couldn't find anyone who had signed up, but NOW we know who is signing up for 0bamacare!
They are just doing it because Americans aren’t signing up, to paraphrase Obama.
The purpose of this law is a massive transfer of money from those who earn it to those who vote democrat.
The title of Evelyn Waugh’s book about Mexico always applies:
ROBBERY UNDER LAW.
Will they accept Pesos for payment?
Hey, John Kasich,
How’s that expanding your state’s Medicaid workin’ out for ya?
The simple truth.
Destroying this country one day at a time. No need to worry about forgein invasion. this clown is dismantling the US without a gunshot.
Obama would register Vlaidimir Putin, Bashar al-Assad and the entire Bin Laden tribe if it would make the Obamacare sign up numbers look better
