If Wilson was wrong, why did they change the bill?

Illegal Immigration watchdog-in-Congress Tom Tancredo has an op-ed piece out today about the hubbub over Joe Wilson, and he makes an important point about all of the loopholes that were (and still are) in the various health care bills, specifically when it comes to illegal aliens.

Conservatives tried to bring these facts to the forefront of the healthcare debate, but the media and the Democrats simply ignored them or repeated their lie that illegal aliens would not receive government funded healthcare.

But Joe Wilson forced them to face the facts.  On Friday night, Obama announced that he wanted to use the SAVE program and bar illegals from the Health Insurance Exchange.   

This does not mean Obama was telling the truth when Joe called him a liar.  On the contrary, it is an admission that before Joe called out Obama illegals were eligible. ...

In other words, if Obama wasn't "lying", then why the hurry to make that change in the bill?

Exactly.
