Colorado Democrats are celebrating a new law that will go into effect on January 1 that will extend free Medicaid coverage to illegal migrants who are pregnant as well as migrant children.
Dubbed “Cover All Coloradans,” the program opens up state Medicaid funding for prenatal and postpartum care, physical, dental, vision, and mental health care for children, with an initial price tag of up to $51 million in costs to the Colorado taxpayer, according to CBS News.
Democrat Gov. Jared Polis’ administration is working with a list of immigrant activist groups to alert migrants that they are eligible for the program and can sign up while assuring migrants that their personal information and lack of legal immigration status will not be supplied to immigration officials.

They’re looting the US Treasury. They are stealing our tax dollars.
That was the plan all along.
.....paid for by hard working struggling American citizens!
That’s good.
We’ll know where to find them.
A big shout out to the Colorado taxpayers! We’ll be sending all the sick illegal aliens in Texas your way. I would recommend that if you have any health issues, get them taken care of right away before the rush on all of your medical facilities. This new generation of illegal aliens have all brought their elderly parents and grandparents with them since they found out that the U.S. taxpayers are looking forward to paying for all of their health problems.

That’s a key point. If Colorado wants to use state tax dollars, that’s an issue for Colorado voters to decide.
But not a single dime of federal money should be involved. I’m sure Trump 2.0 will be looking into that.
It wasn’t all that many years ago Colorado was a solid conservative GOP state.
SURE SOUNDS LIKE A MAJOR FELONY TO ME.

This will not end well.......................for Coloradans............
They’re providing an incentive for more illegal immigration into the US. Congress - both houses of which are now controlled by the GOP - can and should pass legislation outlawing this.
Probably a safe bet that there are US citizens, taxpayers, in Colorado that cannot afford their healthcare in Colorado (premiums, copays, and deductibles).
Sorry, take one less pill to stretch out the prescription. Maybe next year see that doctor….
Couldn’t happen to a nicer state. Colorado is now a blue state with a far left wing governor—so they deserve this.
HEY COLORADO !!!

Polis, like Newsom, Hochul and all the others, is on the same incompetent economic page. Insolvency will be the only alternative, going forward.
They obviously want to collapse CA and CO. to rebuild the Democrat party.
Trump should quickly cut off ALL federal funding to Colorado.
It’s tragic what has happened to Colorado. Used to be a fairly conservative bastion of sanity, with several major Christian ministries locating there in the 70’s and 80’s.
The metastasis of California ruined it.
Colorado has an opportunity to demonstrate Socialist Medicine...
