The Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, has paid out more than $750 million in taxpayer subsidies to more than half a million illegal immigrants and immigrants whose legal status was not verified, according to a new Senate report seen by Fox News.
As of June 2015, "the Administration awarded approximately $750 million in tax credits on behalf of individuals who were later determined to be ineligible because they failed to verify their citizenship, status as a national, or legal presence," said the report from Republicans on the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, reported Fox News.
The report found that taxpayers helped pay for health insurance for more than 500,000 people who were either illegal immigrants or had failed to verify their citizenship or immigration status. The $750 million in questionable payments divided by the approximately 500,000 recipients comes to about $1,600 in premium tax credits per person, notes Breitbart.

Breaking the bank, robbing us blind!
A TERRIBLE DEAL!
....all on purpose.
I recall a quote from a SOTU address ... “YOU LIE”
So he lied to them too. They were probably expecting $2,500 in tax credits per his promise.
$750M of taxpayer dollars for illegal alien invaders to have “a better life”. Now that’s what I call an “opportunity”. If you hand it out, they will come.
Thank God we have a Federal Reserve that can print unbacked, fiat dollars at will, and manipulate interest rates to zero, to support $19 Trillion in Fed.gov debt.
Without it, the progressive-left nanny state and all is social engineering schemes could not exist!!
praise!

Conservative? Donald Trump supported auto bailouts in 2008
First thing that came to my mind also — this was the precise issue that Obama said would not be part of Obamacare.
precise issue that Obama said would not be part of Obamacare.
As with the Clintons if their lips are moving they are lying. if Obama is speaking he is lying until proven otherwise.
Meanwhile, the needs of veterans are ignored.
I may be wrong, but as I recall, our wonderful Govt implemented these subsidies in a way that only required a self-certification as to eligibility.
That makes sense. /sarc
Yep. Try getting a specialty appointment following your initial inprocessing.
In the sanctuary cities the illegals are getting welfare, medicaid and foodstamps. Cruz will not deport them.
Wash, rinse and repeat.
Trump says he’s closing down the sanctuary cities federal subsidies. It’s a great approach!
These uninvited visitors have taste: I watched a Spanish language family check out in a Northern California Walmart. They paid down their $450 tab with an EBT card first, then turned in 2 SNAP stored value cards. Then, for the remaining balance, which included Markers Mark Bourbon, they paid cash.
Nice - too poor to make ends meet, but affluent enough to drink premium bourbon. What a country!
What is NOT being reported is all the STEM workers families coming to the USA and then putting grandparents on Social Security.
A co-worker of mine was listening to a phone conversation with someone from Bangalore yelling at SS to get payments to his parents.
