We say that if the sponsor is deceased or bankrupt or ill. or whatever it may be. that that person will be taken care of. The committee bill requires all welfare programs to include the sponsors income when determining whether a sponsored individual is eligible for assistance. In other words. the U.S. Government will require the sponsors in this bill to keep their promises. CBO has scored this as a significant privatesector mandate. I think that is a most appropriate definition because it should be a privatesector mandate. Sponsors should not expect free medical care from U.S. taxpayers for their immigrant relative when they can provide it themselves. That is what we are talking about. If they cannot provide it themselves.
