Help with question I don't know where to research

[truthdetective]

I have a blog in which I posted a news article talking about the possibility of the health care reform including a way to insure illegal immigrants. Of course, someone posted it was a lie and then put this:

SEC. 242. AFFORDABLE CREDIT ELIGIBLE INDIVIDUAL.
(a) Definition-CommentsClose CommentsPermalink
(1) IN GENERAL- For purposes of this division, the term ‘affordable credit eligible individual’ means, subject to subsection (b), an individual who is lawfully present in a State in the United States (other than as a nonimmigrant described in a subparagraph (excluding subparagraphs (K), (T), (U), and (V)) of section 101(a)(15) of the Immigration and Nationality Act)–


Where is this from and what would be the best and most professional way to respond? Thank you for any advice.

Okay here is some helpful information:

America’s Affordable Health Choices Act [H.R. 3200] Section-by-Section Analysis

Sec. 242. Affordable credit eligible individual. In order to receive affordability credits, individuals must have individual coverage through an Exchange-participating health benefits plan (though not through an employer purchasing coverage through the Exchange). Family and individual incomes must be below 400% of the federal poverty limit to access the affordability credits, and the individual generally must not be eligible for Medicaid. In general, employees who are offered employer coverage are ineligible for affordability credits within the Exchange. Beginning in year two, employees who meet an affordability test showing that coverage under their employer-provided plan would cost more than 11% of income, are eligible to obtain income-based affordability credits in the Exchange.
