As of this month, health insurance has been terminated for 115,000 people who, the government claims, failed to prove they were U.S. citizens or legal immigrants eligible for coverage under the Affordable Care Act.  Florida leads the nation in those losing coverage because of immigration and citizenship issues, with over 35 thousand affected.  Our guests discuss their options and the government’s moral obligation.
