So why was a directive needed? Why wasn’t citizenship a precondition to being covered by Medicaid in the first place?
It’s all about body counts for the census and little birthright babies..... Cynical bunch at donkey headquarters and the legacy media.
Yes and no. Under federal law, illegal aliens are generally not entitled to Medicaid benefits except for emergency medical treatment, which is why many illegals use hospital emergency rooms for primary care. Medicaid, however, is jointly administered by both the feds and the states, and many hopelessly blue states allow illegals to directly or indirectly get coverage through state administered programs.
