Trump administration pushes to remove noncitizen Medicaid enrollees
Just the News ^ | 08-21-2025 | Andrew Rice

The Trump administration is cracking down on noncitizens receiving Medicaid and Children’s Health Insurance Program benefits, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

The center launched an oversight program, in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, to provide states with reports of individuals enrolled in Medicaid who do not appear on federal databases.

“We are tightening oversight of enrollment to safeguard taxpayer dollars and guarantee that these vital programs serve only those who are truly eligible under the law,” said Robert F. Kennedy Jr., secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

>>Federal law typically does not allow noncitizens to enroll in Medicaid.
>>Some states, like California, Oregon and Colorado, have extended Medicaid eligibility to undocumented immigrants.

Those states should be denied ALL Medicaid funding until they comply with federal law.

Any horses in the Medicare data base must be removed.
Then, use that info to cleanse the voter rolls and generate a clean census

Why not direct ICE to them all?

Oh, right. This is Bush III and “MAGA” supports amnesty now.

Ok, fine. Good IMHO as well.

But “WHY???” can’t this happen at the same time as rescinding plandemic policies/edicts/euas??? [rhetorical]

True but half the legal citizens don’t deserve them either.

(Analogy Alert!)

One of my neighbors fed the Muscovy ducks. They shat on everything, ruining paint and making yards unusable. They destroyed gardens, damaged cars and made all kinds of disturbing noise. The neighbor got so hysterical about people who didn’t like the ducks the neighbors put up with all the damage. Then, the neighbor died. The ducks were shortly gone. (I was nowhere around. You can’t prove a damned thing.) The neighborhood was infinitely improved.

FR THREAD: Immigrants seeking a legal pathway to live and work in the United States
will now be subject to screening to determine if they harbor “anti-Americanism,’

US Citizenship and Immigration Services said officers will now consider
<><>whether an applicant for benefits, such as a green card,
<><>“endorsed, promoted, supported anti-American views,
<><>or otherwise espoused” anti-American, terrorist or antisemitic views.

“America’s benefits should not be given to those who despise the country and actively promote anti-American ideologies,” a USCIS spokesman said.

“Immigration benefits—including to live and work in the US—remain a privilege, not a right.”

Time for the refugee skanks posing as “Dipstick Court judges” to get busy making it illegal for anybody to deny Medicaid to third world, illegal alien invaders and their elderly family members. Where’s the illegal alien loving Boasburger and his Trump-hating daughter?

Yes,
The worst “feature” of Obamacare was that it hugely extended the Medicaid eligibility.
Medicaid originated as a provider of basic care for the truly indigent.
But now, almost everybody is eligible.
Medicaid became quietly the version of European care.
Free healthcare for everybody.
So now you have to wait half a year for lifesaving surgery.
Hospital ER have half a day waiting period.
Need neurologist? Sorry, wait a year!
Need family doctor? Forget about it!
Lot of people, who do nothing, have a lot of time, and have free Medicaid just go to see doc for every scratchy throat, or just to have some friendly chat.
They are, just like in Canada or Europe, clogging the system, so you have to wait in long line, even if you really need quick help, even if you are are dying!
My best friend died recently in ER after waiting there for 8 hours!
That’s the real cost of Medicaid!

Before any illegals were actually on Medicaid they just went to the ER for everything and walked away from paying. This caused a lot of ERs to close reducing access to everyone.

Getting them to self-deport is the best outcome.
