I can't imagine any insurance company currently turning down an illegal alien who is willing to buy health insurance.

I also don't think it makes any sense to prohibit illegal aliens from purchasing insurance.

What is of concern is whether illegal aliens will be eligible for government assistance to acquire or maintain insurance or other taxpayer funded benefits.

It is more important to get a grip on illegal immigration than it is to fool around with the health care system, imo.

According to Obama's latest numbers, 10 % or less of Americans are without health insurance (30million). That is a relatively small percentage of the population that can be dealt with without a systemwide overhaul.

Meantime the cost of providing ER care to illegal immigrants without health insurance is skyrocketing in the impacted areas of the country, like Los Angeles. That's where we need to focus some efforts.
