Wait. What? Weren’t we told by the media and Congressional Democrats that Joe Wilson was himself lying when he called Obama a liar for claiming that illegal aliens wouldn’t be receiving care under ObamaCare?

Turns out Wilson was right. There is a loophole in Congressional versions of ObamaCare that allows illegal aliens to receive care in this new system of socialized health care. Imagine that.

The controversy over Republican Rep. Joe Wilson’s shouting out “You Lie!” at the President over his claim that illegal immigrants wouldn’t benefit from health-care reform apparently sparked some reconsideration of the relevant language. “We really thought we’d resolved this question of people who are here illegally, but as we reflected on the President’s speech last night we wanted to go back and drill down again,” said Senator Kent Conrad, one of the Democrats in the talks after a meeting Thursday morning. Baucus later that afternoon said the group would put in a proof of citizenship requirement to participate in the new health exchange — a move likely to inflame the left.

Why would it inflame the left? Banning illegal aliens from receiving benefits under ObamaCare would inflame people who supposedly promised that illegal aliens wouldn’t allow benefits under ObamaCare? Something’s out-of-whack there.

Joe Wilson was right. Illegal aliens were going to receive benefits from ObamaCare, and his telling the truth drew attention to that fact. Good for him.
