Dem Rep. Sherman on CA Medicaid Shortfall: We’re ‘Fine’, Have to Give Medicaid to Illegals So ‘We All Don’t Get’ Sick
Breitbart ^ | 03/26/2025 | Ian Hanchett

Posted on 03/26/2025 5:32:13 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

On Tuesday’s broadcast of NewsNation’s “Cuomo,” Rep. Brad Sherman (D-CA) discussed the state’s Medicaid shortfall and said that California is “fine.” But “The depression in the stock market will hurt California over the next ten years.” And that the state has to provide Medicaid to illegal immigrants “so that we all don’t get infectious diseases.”

Sherman said, “California’s fine. We rely significantly on taxing wealthy people on capital gains. The depression in the stock market will hurt California over the next ten years. You cannot treat a family by only treating some family members. If you don’t treat COVID in a woman without documents, then our children who are U.S. citizens are going to get COVID, and that’s going to be much, much worse. To paint this idea that the state of California is going down the tubes and it’s undocumented immigrants that are the reason is simply absurd. California’s going to do fine. And we’re going to make sure that the people who live in California [are] healthy.”

So we welcome the diseased and use the excuse we need to treat them via Medicare because we all don’t want to get sick, mentally ill Rat analogy

No, Sherman...the correct answer is to get the illegals out as fast as possible. Dout you realize some of them may have diseases our doctors have never even seen before? Nothing says we are responsible for vaccinating the rest of the world. Just as nothing says we need to take care of every one who wanders in here illegally. Sounds like what you are proposing is to make us a sanctuary nation. No thanks!

Covid is ubiquitous, we have to treatment that prevents its spread. However if one is concerned about spreading disease from those here illegally...then...

Fear! You must fear this or we’re all going to die! We must take care of the disease infested undocumented democrats or we’re all going to die! Uhhh.... how about getting rid of the freeloaders? It is unconstitutional to force Americans to pay for people who are here illegally. Sherman is an ass.

Here’s news for Dr Sherman. They are sucking on the Medicaid teat because they are already sick. They are deep into the infectious stage by that point already.

California won’t have anybody left to tax in a decade, yet all the homeless and illegals will still want stuff.

Consequences are coming.

No, moron, you deport them. Then you won't get sick, and they won't parasitize hard working American citizens.

Where was this guy when they passed out brains?

Be cheaper to send them back, so we don’t all get sick.

An ambulance showed up at a neighbor’s house and I asked the son-in-law about it. He said his mother-in-law was just having an asthma attack and the ambulance guaranteed she would receive emergency treatment at the hospital. They had no insurance but had a new truck and two new Escalades. I never asked if they were illegals but the whole neighborhood was.

Taxing the capital gains of the wealthy.

Solid strategy.

So Skippy. Shouldn’t we just give all bank robbers money from the banks so nobody will get shot during a robbery? Just say no to drugs.

I still don’t understand why trump just won’t make a simple 12 percent federal tax on everybody. No deductions or anything. That would make things so easy and fair across the board. Is that so hard? What’s he afraid of?

“So we all don’t get sick”.

Is he admitting that illegals are spreading diseases?
