Can the gentleman tell me how many foreigners are covered by this sort of insurance? Mr. Chairman. I know of no reason in the world why as a condition of coming to this country these foreigners. when they obtain a visa. a passport. or whatever credentials they have to obtain. should not take out a health insurance policy themselves rather than saddle this load upon the American taxpayers. They come to this country with a per diem allowance and certainly they should pay for their own insurance. I will be surprised if this amendment is adopted. but I submit it nevertheless.
