Democrats say illegals are not eligible for Obamacare, but no requirement for photo ID will be permitted. You can not get on an airplane, open a bank account, cash a check or buy cigarettes (if you are young) without a photo ID, but you will be able to sign up for Obamacare benefits without one. Democrats defeated a proposed requirement by Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa)that immigrants prove their identity with photo identification when signing up for Obamacare.
The Hill reported:
Senate Finance Committee Democrats rejected a proposed a requirement that immigrants prove their identity with photo identification when signing up for federal healthcare programs.
Finance Committee ranking member Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) said that current law and the healthcare bill under consideration are too lax and leave the door open to illegal immigrants defrauding the government using false or stolen identities to obtain benefits.
Grassley's amendment was beaten back 10-13 on a party-line vote.
