When all is said and done

Sheriff Babeu: Immigration Order Will Defer 20M Deportations

"President Obama said on TV, 'if you've been here five years or more, there will be deferred action, that you'll be given a work permit, a driver's license, all access to our social programs,'" Babeu explained.

"But Jeh Johnson, the very same day, put out a memo directed to all 23 agencies under the Department of Homeland Security saying that any illegal who's been here this year as of January of 2014, they are entitled to this deferred action."

OCare Leads To INCREASE in ER Visits --The opposite of what OCare/Romney designers, Emanuel and Gruber, told us

There's been an increase in patients going to the emergency room under Obamacare — the exact opposite effect the Affordable Care Act was intended to have, a new survey shows.

The American College of Emergency Physicians survey shows since Jan. 1, 46 percent of emergency physicians have reported an increase in patients. Twenty-three percent reported a decrease, and 27 percent said the patient flow was about the same.

"We told you this was going to happen, "Howard Mell, an emergency care doctor who is spokesman for ACEP, told Business Insider.

"We don't mind that it has. But we'd sure appreciate some support."

The survey found ER doctors think things will get even worse: Eighty-six percent said there would be an increase in the amount of visits to their departments over the next three years. Seventy-seven percent of those doctors think their facilities are unprepared for the flood.

Emergency care physicians also expect payments for ER visits to sharply reduce, and say just because access to care will improve overall, it doesn't necessarily equate with quality care.

"Emergency visits will increase in large part because more people will have health insurance and therefore will be seeking medical care," said Alex Rosenau, president of ACEP, in a news release.

"But America has severe primary care physician shortages, and many physicians do not accept Medicaid patients, because Medicaid pays so low. When people can't get appointments with physicians, they will seek care in emergency departments. In addition, the population is aging, and older people are more likely to have chronic medical conditions that require emergency care."

The Obama administration said the study comes too soon to draw any long-term conclusions.
