   That's a lie, and you know it's a lie, illegal immigrants are not   
   provided healthcare.

   You love to twist words don't you.  In your goal to cut non-existant   
   healthcare for undocumented immigrants, you're cutting it for everybody.   
   And that's the "everybody" Walters is talking about.   
      
   But as far as that goes, Walters is NOT the voice of the Democratic   
   Party.
