tah Offering Taxpayer-Funded Health Insurance to Illegal Alien Children
Breitbart ^ | 01/04/2024 | JOHN BINDER

The state of Utah is now offering taxpayer-funded health insurance to children who arrived illegally in the United States thanks to a plan approved last year by Democrat and Republican legislators. Under an amended version of Utah’s Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), children in the U.S. illegally are eligible to receive taxpayer-funded medical benefits. Open enrollment for the amended program started on January 1. For Utah taxpayers, the annual bill is about $4.5 million and about 2,000 illegal alien children are expected to enroll in the amended program. According to the latest estimates, nearly 150,000 illegal aliens reside in Utah today.

“nearly 150,000 illegal aliens reside in Utah today”

Up from ZERO in 1980.

If you subsidize or encourage something, you’ll get more of it.

Wait till the illegals start suing for malpractice and get huge rewards from public healthcare facilities.

They win, Lawyers win, of course the healthcare industy wins by feeding at the public trough to begin with........

It’s an industrial complex centered on illegal immigration we are building and there’s no going back in these blue states.

The Utah Mormons see the illegals as potential converts.

Only because the Roman Catholic Church isn't very competitive there.

IIRC, Deep State matches every dollar Utah spends on this program with 4 dollars seized from federal taxpayers.

Utah taxpayers aren’t the only people being screwed.

When seeking a new place to live on the northbound I-15 from San Diego, I intentionally passed Utah without any interest. It is full of libs in many places...government in particular. Pocatello, ID checked off most of my "wants". I can drive to Idaho Falls for the few missing "wants" without committing to a very traffic congested area.

Idaho doesn't have buckets of money to throw at illegals. The only place with "big city" trappings is Boise. Hanging around Pocatello in the Winter as a homeless person isn't a good idea. Very little support. Most hitch a ride out of town when the weather turns cold.

The Cloward-Piven strategy focused on overloading the United States public welfare system in order to precipitate a crisis, which would ultimately lead to replacing the welfare system with a national system of “a guaranteed annual income and thus an end to poverty”.

Cloward-Piven strategy is designed to overwhelm the systems in the United States to lead to a collapse.

Baraq approves.
