Under the Health Security Act as proposed by the President. most people. and I underline the word "most." would obtain healthcare insurance through one of two entities. either a local health alliance or a corporate alliance where available. Exceptions would be made for current medical care recipients. military personnel. veterans. and Native Americans. who would continue to be covered under their existing programs. Undocumented immigrants would not be covered under any program. Mr. Speaker. and I think that is a shame. We would run the risk of not providing health care for undocumented workers by exposing ourselves to the risk of harm of diseases that they will catch and transmit for lack of medical resources being made available to them. When I was growing up. that was called pennywise and poundfoolish. But let me get back to the Presidents plan.
