WASHINGTON—About 1.4 million illegal immigrants are enrolled in Medicaid, something House Republicans hope to change.

To the White House, this is a clear instance of lawmakers eliminating fraud and saving taxpayers’ money. But to Democrats, it’s the worst of all possible things: Republican attempts to cut Medicaid.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

“President Trump and Republicans are protecting Medicaid,” White House spokesman Kush Desai told The Daily Wire, “And that starts with kicking 1.4 million illegal immigrants off the program to prioritize the Americans who need it.”

And the Trump administration clearly considers its efforts to boot illegals off Medicaid as a winning message, while Democrats continue to hype their concerns despite polling showing that 71% of Americans strongly favor removing illegals from the program and requiring all who want Medicaid to work if they are able.

Of course the Democrats are battling to keep a million or more illegal invaders of the USA enrolled in Medicaid. Election fraud is the only way Democrats can get into political office. It’s their only means of seizing power. Without election fraud, the Democrat Party would have gone the way of the Nazi Party by now.

oh and also

GPT: Medicaid eligibility is generally limited to U.S. citizens or certain qualified non-citizens, such as lawful permanent residents.

Now, some nursing home residents are a young age and are rehabbing an injury. No idea if they are illegals, but in terms of numbers, the oldsters having their final days in a nursing home will be overwhelmingly citizens or green card people.

We should not be paying for the health care of foreigners.

This takes from our own quality of life, our own children and overwhelms our already overwhelmed medical system.

$12B (with a “B) is spend on free medical care for illegals im the state of California.

Funny how the state is running a $12B deficit right now. Gavin Newsom can’t figure out how it happened - he keeps bragging about how great our state economy is.

Medicaid is nothing but health care for foreign Illegal Alien freeloaders using the gringos as suckers.

No, that’s not accurate. Medicaid serves as ‘health care’ Americans that have been disabled from birth, very poor, and children. Further, the vast majority of children are now born on Medicaid programs. Medicaid is essential for many people, and the most Vulnerable (children disabled at birth) Americans.

That being said, this is why the Democrats have chosen to abuse it and destroy it. They are abusing it by 1: having people who could work, that don’t. 2: Illegals 3: Not forcing young couples to purchase health insurance. All of those costs are passed unto Medicaid until the Re-imbursement is less than costs to care for the patient problems (Pregnancy, childbirth, and children are adequately re-imbursed). Thus, it no longer serves as a ‘safety net’ for Americans most vulnerable, it becomes a useless program for those that truly needy because no one will ‘accept’ them.

Medicaid needs to be broken up. Disabled Kids that become adults need programs specific for them. Young parents need to be financially responsible for having children, or at least working to qualify if possible. The poor need a safety net if they cannot work, but generational Medicaid needs to end.

Democrats took a good idea and abused it to the point that it no longer serves who it was intended for, and now they lie about ‘cuts’ to cover up what they did.

Well, I’m just tickled to death to be assured that Joe Pedo’s “Twenty Million” are not sucking up any of the Medicaid money. I wonder who is paying the medical bills for the illegals I see at our hospitals. Probably the DNC and their “protesters.”

You might want to quit using chat bots to answer questions. I’d bet a regular Google/Brave/Duckduckgo/Bing/etc search would give you much better results.

The primary for old people is Medicare, not Medicaid.

Absolutely not. Medicare will not fund nursing homes for elder care. It will fund healthcare, but not day to day life in a nursing home. Medicaid is the source of money for almost 70% of all residents. It is all so very expensive that personal assets are soon exhausted (if there were any to begin with) and at that point Medicaid, not Medicare, steps in.

What was the link you found that the AIs did not find that said Medicare funds elder care nursing homes living expenses.

An emergency room is required to stabilize any human being that walks through their doors. This would be so for citizens who have no money and illegals who have no money.

The law is called EMTALA, Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act. They must treat and stabilize. They seek payment only afterwards and if there is no ability to pay through any program, the hospital is stuck. They deal with this via higher prices on those who can pay.

FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

Patriots are reminded that the states have never expressly constitutionally given the unconstitutionally big federal government the specific power to tax and spend for national healthcare services.

So the corrupt feds shouldn't be providing healthcare for either citizens who are not federal employees, or illegal immigrants imo. (The misguided Supreme Court got Obamacare wrong imo.)

Elite desperate Democratic and RINO medical healthcare for citizens and illegals is another example of corrupt Congress's abuse of its 16th Amendment powers (direct taxes) imo, that amendment the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow for organized crime.

The 16th Amendment desperately needs to be repealed along with the 17th Amendment, popular voting for federal senators.

We'll call the repeal amendment Trump's Boston Tea Party II Amendment.

No. Wrong. For a lot of profoundly mentally or physically disabled totally unable to work and who require 24 hour a day supervision its something that pays part of the costs for housing and personal assistance.

The Ds signing all these people up for this probably violates lots of laws. Need prosecutions.

No surprise ... Demoncrats always favor illegal whatevers over citizens.
