I’m doing a short item related to this topic, and I’m a little confused. Several reports have claimed that Senators Baucus and Conrad want legislation to include a “proof of citizenship” requirement for people to get health-care subsidies. (See here and here for example.) Conrad’s own remarks on CNN seem closer to a “proof of legal residence” requirement: People who are legal residents but not (or not yet) citizens would seem to be eligible for subsidies. Is the reporting just sloppy, or did one or both senators just say something imprecise?
