Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has reportedly handed over personal information of foreign Medicaid enrollees to immigration enforcement authorities. The data transfer reportedly includes names, addresses, and Social Security numbers of individuals enrolled in Medicaid programs in sanctuary states such as California, Illinois, and Washington State, as well as Washington, D.C.
Emails and an internal memo obtained by the Associated Press (AP) reveal that Medicaid officials attempted to block the transfer, citing legal and ethical objections. However, two senior advisers to Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. overruled their concerns, ordering the data to be sent to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
California Governor Gavin Newsom’s office has complained, stating, “This potential data transfer brought to our attention by the AP is extremely concerning, and if true, potentially unlawful.” The Democrat governor’s office emphasized the state’s commitment to protecting the privacy of its residents, apparently including illegal aliens liable for deportation.
The data handover has raised concerns among leftists that it could be used to assist immigration raids, particularly in Los Angeles, California, where previous Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations have led to pro-illegal immigrant riots. It could also be used to stop Medicaid coverage from being extended to illegals unlawfully.
Andrew Nixon, a spokesman for the Department of Health and Human Services, defended the move, stating the data sharing was lawful and aimed at ensuring Medicaid benefits are provided only to those legally eligible.
Officials at the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) were reportedly given less than an hour to comply with the directive.
NOW we’re getting somewhere.
Enter intrusive non-Article II authorized judicial dementiacratic stay in 3… 2… 1…
but i totally believe them when they say not a single illegal voted in our elections. They’re just getting drivers licenses, welfare, social security, and medicaid. But they’re nice enough not to vote in our elections. All on the honor system of course.
What took so long?
So why was a directive needed? Why wasn’t citizenship a precondition to being covered by Medicaid in the first place?
This might be boom worthy.
Good.
And if they are here legally they have nothing to worry about.
Some libtard judge blocks the action in 5, 4, 3, 2.....
Why should Americans be funding them when their own nation doesn’t, and while they are sending remittances back to Mexico?
Go talk to one of those skanky, “District” jugheads. Illegal aliens are not eligible for Medicare. Even if they do clean your toilet or work as the guacamole chef at the local Taco Shack or your favorite Street Taco Food Truck.
California should deny federal money and do it themselves. So they get to make their own rules.

Have had my doubts about RFK, but I’m all in, now.
But. but...NO KINGS! *SMIRK* Guess they’d better hold another ‘rally of hundreds’ far and wide to protest RFK’s actions, now.
*Rolleyes*
It’s all about body counts for the census and little birthright babies..... Cynical bunch at donkey headquarters and the legacy media.
Taxpayer handouts to illegals have got to stop.
Removing these leaches from the Medicaid rolls … which they should NEVER have been allowed to be on, in the FIRST place … will cause a good number to self deport.
Good job, Bobby!
Medicare and Medicaid. Two different animals.
And will save Taxpayers a boatload of money!
I just signed up for Medicare. The VA recommended I do so as a back-up to the services they can provide me. It also gives me the option to use my local hospital instead of driving an hour to the VA in the event of an emergency. (Like the kidney stone I suffered last spring!)
It’ll be costing me $185.00 a month, deducted from my SS.
Every asset they have needs to be tagged, logged for reparations
