It seems as if Obamacare is not-so-friendly to illegal immigrants, as the Miami Herald is reporting that some “310,000 newly insured people” across the country-94,000 in Florida-will lose their insurance coverage, if they can’t prove if they are here in the U.S. legally.
Ay Caramba!Let’s give credit where credit is due. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has made an effort to contact these Obamacare enrollees about the healthcare marketplaces’ condition of eligibility via email, letters, phone calls, even using the Pony Express.
Of course you know that I am kidding, considering that the Pony Express’ only remaining route is between the U.S. Capitol and The White House.

A new round of communications is being launched, officials said, and the coverage of policyholders who do not respond by Sept. 5 will expire at the end of September.
“We want as many consumers as possible to remain enrolled in marketplace coverage, so we are giving these individuals a last chance to submit their documents before their coverage through the marketplace will end,” said Marilyn B. Tavenner, administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
In May there were unresolved questions about the legal status of 970,000 people nationwide, officials said in a conference call on Tuesday. About 450,000 of those cases have been resolved, while an additional 210,000 are being investigated after the consumers provided documents. The remaining 310,000 are the subject of the new outreach effort, which includes letters in English and Spanish.
This may sound like a bit of a stretch, but could this lead to more targeted deportations of illegal immigrants?
Think about it.
Because these 310,000 (or more) enrollees, legal or not, have submitted all of their personal contact information to the federal government, who now knows where they live and work.
