Tuesday President Obama sought to assure legal immigrants that they can sign up for ObamaCare without worrying that “the immigration people” will come for family members who are in the country illegally. Some Latinos worried that relatives in the country illegally might be targeted through information obtained when they sign up for Obamacare.
Meanwhile, Matt Drudge tweeted a picture (below) of one of the vans cruising the Miami streets offering “Free Obamacare”
In an interview with Univision Deportes, a Spanish-language sports radio show, Obama said immigration officials won’t have access to the personal information that consumers provide when signing up for healthcare on the new exchanges.“Well, the main thing for people to know is that any information you get, you know, asked with respect to buying insurance, does not have anything to do with … the rules governing immigration,” Obama said. “And you know, you can qualify if you’re a legal resident, if you are … legally present in the United States. You know, if you have a family where some people are citizens or legally here, and others are not documented, the immigration people will never get that information.”
The administration has made this point before, but Hispanics have been slow to enroll under ObamaCare, and some believe mixed-status families might be staying away from the exchanges out of fear it will jeopardize family members in the country illegally.“You know, you will qualify, you know, regardless of what your family’s status is,” Obama said on Tuesday. “So, you know, people should not hold back just because they’re in a mixed-family status.”
The White House has said there are 10.2 million uninsured Hispanics eligible for ObamaCare in the country, and about 8.1 million are likely eligible for tax credits. Hispanics have the highest rate of uninsured of any ethnic group in the country.
The administration has focused on Hispanics in its final enrollment push through initiatives like the Latino Enrollment Week of Action, and in its partnership with Spanish-language media.
Obama’s Tuesday interview on a sports talk show also dovetails with the administration’s effort to leverage the popular NCAA basketball tournament to get its message out.
Under the license plate it says “totalmente gratis,” which means “totally free” in English.

Repeal and stop the madness/// impeach and vote dems and some rinos out/// They do not deserve to be in an office of so called public trust///
If obamacare is so good why does he have to spend millions trying to sell it.
I Agree to both your Answers
Wow! That is unbelievable! We need to get a dictionary for Obama! Illegal really….illegal means they are breaking the law! Arrest them and send them back to their country and make them come here legally. There is no excuse to be here illegally. If you have nothing to hide…fill out the papers and register yourself.
All of the nations of the Old U.S.S.R. should join the Russian Federation. Every nation of EU should leave the European Union and ask to join the Russian Federation. Every nation that is tired of the lies of our CIA, the corruption of our NSA, and the lies of Obama and NATO and their continued wars across Africa and the Middle East should ask to join the Russian Federation.
No Incumbents. They have not fired Obama and Repealed Obamacare. Vote them out.
