Department of Human Services
2009-11 Policy Option Package
WHAT WOULD THIS POLICY OPTION PACKAGE (POP) DO AND HOW WOULD IT BE IMPLEMENTED?
[It] would increase the number of women eligible for prenatal care and the number of infants receiving health care... This would cover women who, while technically not living in poverty, earn far too little to pay for health care insurance.
What's a little technicality amongst friends?
[It] would extend statewide a pilot in Multnomah and Deschutes counties to provide prenatal care to women who otherwise would be eligible only for emergency medical (including labor and delivery).These women now qualify for Citizen/Alien-Waived Emergency Medical (CAWEM), federally required emergency services for women who are undocumented or who are documented but haven’t met the five-year residency requirement. This would make them eligible for OHP-Plus benefits, including prenatal services...
DOES THIS POP REQUIRE A CHANGE(S) TO AN EXISTING STATUTE OR REQUIRE A NEW STATUTE?
No.
WHAT ALTERNATIVES WERE CONSIDERED AND WHAT WERE THE REASONS FOR REJECTING THEM?
The alternative to providing prenatal care to only part of the population with local and “soft” funding, and noprenatal care to the rest of the population, is unnecessary now that the state has attained federal approval to use federal SCHIP Title XXI funds for prenatal services for the eligible population.
WHAT WOULD BE THE ADVERSE EFFECTS OF NOT FUNDING THIS POP?
By not taking advantage of federal authorization to provide prenatal care to women who are undocumented or who have not met the five-year residency requirement, several thousand women and their infants lose the proven benefits of prenatal care;
Will there be changes to client caseloads or services provided to population groups?
There are approximately 6,000 births to CAWEM-only eligible women statewide per year, with an average growth rate of 5.5% per year. Labor and delivery care is already supported by state General Funds and federal matching funds.
There will be additional women served in the Citizen-Alien Waivered Emergency Medical (CAWEM)program. This POP will add an average of 68 women per month for 24 months for the 2009-11 biennium. In 2011-13 there will be an average caseload increase of an additional 141 women per month.
It goes on and on. Did you have any idea that Multnomah and Deschutes counties had already sanctioned giving illegal aliens extra health care? Now the beauracrats at DHS may decide or have already decided to take this statewide with no public debate or knowledge.
Your general fund tax dollars, your federal tax dollars, even your "soft" tax dollars are helping illegal aliens.
Vote NO on 66 & 67

This crap is what is collapsing California as their MediCal also includes Car seats, Bottles, formula, diapers and much more as in "pre-natal" care.
As our government increases the numbers of carrotts and eliminates any sticks we will become the same Turd World haves and have nots, they all fled.
"More health care for illegal aliens"
I sure hope so. I thought taking care of "the stranger" was the Christian thing to do?
Anonymous 12:14:
One more time: what part of illegal don't you understand?
So, you think it's "the Christian thing to do" to forcibly take from those who work hard, skim some off the top, then send what little is left to "take care" of "the stranger"? On what planet is this a virtue? Why is throwing other people's money at problems always the answer according to you leftists?
You want "more health care for illegal aliens"? Don't wait for the government. Put YOUR money where your mouth is. Pay for it yourself.
Anon 12:14 if you are so concerned about health care for the criminal aliens, why don't you donate your whole paycheck to them? Put your money where your mouth is. I don't if you know it but we are broke. Our children and grand children won't be able to pay off this debt.
Forcibly? Ah yes, the 'Jack-booted-government-thugs-with-hammer-and-sickle-insignia-crashed-my-door-and-stole-my-money-at-gunpoint' Miglavian fantasy version of life in the United States. Anon 10:04, taxation is the constitutionally-authorized mechanism by which the Founding Fathers determined government gets shit done in this country, and in my nearly 50 years of experience, it's typically involved nothing more than sticking a stamp on a couple of envelopes in April with a check (and, in my humble case, getting a refund about 95 percent of the time) so if you don't like that arrangement: Leave.
Tell me, Anon 7:51, are taxes voluntary?
Where did I argue against taxation, per se? You'll see I didn't. I'm arguing against using taxpayer dollars for funding health insurance for illegal immigrants, which is NOT a Constitutionally authorized expenditure of federal funds. Next time, before going off on a rant, read what I wrote.
BTW, you like making interest-free loans to the government?
Until the US government summons the courage to provide massive penalties for anybody found as accomplice to assisting illegal aliens staying in America. Until businesses are fined $50.000 to $100.000 dollars for knowingly hiring each illegal immigrant, with an immediate passport to jail for any employer with no clemency. Or going straight to prison for at least one year on the first offense, for aiding and abetting foreign nationals. This type of rigid law will never happen, because immigration is just lip service to the public to show that Washington is superficially doing something. For decades, any kind of serious enforcement has always been trampled into the mud, by pandering politicians. If immigration laws were serious--they would have made trespassing into our country a mandatory felony as other countries, instead of a pathetic slap on the wrist. 20 to 30 million Illegal immigrants have been allowed to occupy our nation, because our lawmakers have been corrupted by the special interest lobbyists. Even the original design of the Southern border fence, was superseded by one single length instead of two, with vehicle surveillance lanes in between. More fencing and additional Border Patrol agents will not be sufficient to protect America because every one of our international airports is part of our border. Tom Tancredo previous Congressman for Colorado warns us that over 140 million international travelers passed through our 20 busiest international airports in 2008. Foreign students from the Middle East are bringing their wives and girlfriends here to have their babies in American hospitals, children who become instant American citizens – and "anchors" for their parents' future green-card applications.
Large bankrolls have changed hands by wealthy corporate concerns, adding copious incentives to party campaigns to trample new laws. This has been illustrated by Sen. Harry Reid, Majority Speaker Nancy Pelosi and even head of our Homeland Security Janet Napolitano trying to collapse E-Verify. As Part of the SAVE ACT, E-Verify is one of our strongest tools, to eject illegal workers out of American jobs. E-Verify was nearly comprised by the Liberal Democrats, but it surfaced and came to the attention of the public and anti-illegal labor bloggers. Any enforceable law such as E-Verify, 287(g) local police detainment, ICE arrest have been secretly undermined by the legislators. Not completely, but enough to make them almost worthless. Today, more than ever before--we cannot trust our government, who supposedly take this oath office to protect the United States citizenship.
May be there is a light at the end of the tunnel, with the stunned expressions of Democrats when Scott Brown, beat Martha Coakley in the Massachusetts special election. State Sen. Brown has stated he is against any kind of AMNESTY or as its called by open border zealots Comprehensive immigration reform. The Senator also said that we are encouraging more illegal immigrants to come, by awarding AMNESTY. Just as millions more are expected, if the doors remain open before President Obama should sign into law this new act. You cannot stop a deluge with just a thin line of US Border Patrol agents. This is where we must--DEMAND--stringent fines and hefty prison sentences for business owners--with no exceptions. The new second generation well-funded E-Verify will make a giant difference, that will rid this country of illegal workers and those criminal businesses that believe they are above the law. The new E-Verify upgrade will whittle away at the estimated 8 million illegal workers in our country, with their only option to go--HOME?
Rep. Nathan Deal (R-Ga) is the principal author of H.R.1868, which repeals "birthright citizenship" by limiting citizenship to children born of citizens and legal permanent residents, not Tourists, foreign students, temporary workers or illegal aliens. Rep. Phil Gringrey (R-Ga) H.R.878 would end chain migration by limiting the relatives who qualify for "family reunification" to only immediate family members. Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-Va) bill, H.R.2305, will end the "diversity lottery" through which 55,000 green cards are awarded annually to people who are exempt from sponsorship and job-skill requirements. (Over 1.5 million legal immigrants enter America every year.) Rep. Marsha Blackburn's (R-Tn) H.R.2406 will strengthen local law enforcement's role in immigration enforcement, for example in extending the reach of 287(g) agreements between local police and the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency.
TAXPAYERS HAVE BEEN SHINED-ON THROUGH MANY ADMINISTRATIONS OVER MANY YEARS. AMERICANS HAVE UNKNOWINGLY BEEN TAXED, TO SUPPORT INSTANT CITIZEN CHILDREN OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT MOTHERS, EDUCATION AND EMERGENCY MEDICAL TREATMENT AND FILLED OUR PLACES OF IMPRISONMENT. MASSIVE DOLLAR AMOUNTS CANNOT BE COUNTED, BUT CERTAINLY RIVAL THE APPROPRIATIONS FOR OUR WARS. Call the Capitol Switchboard at 202-224-3121 and asked for your Senator or Congressman. In addition bombard your State Representatives to enforce state laws. GET INVOLVED AND LEARN THE TRUTH AND NOT OPEN BORDER PROPAGANDA AT NUMBERSUSA AND JUDICIAL WATCH. STOP UNSUSTAINABLE OVERPOPULATION IN OUR FUTURE.
