Afear tactic,” a “red herring,” and a “flat-out lie” — that’s how Democrats described Republicans’ claims that the left wanted to give free health care to illegal aliens last year during a government shutdown. Yet three weeks before voters decide who controls Congress, U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed and other Democrats are making “Medicare for All” — including for illegal aliens — a central campaign promise, and a host of Democrat senators are backing a bill that would cement that policy in law.
Sen. Bernie Sanders’ “Medicare for All” bill would create a right for illegal aliens and other noncitizens to get taxpayer-funded health care. With control of Congress on the ballot in three weeks, voters should judge Democrats not by what accusations they write off, but by what legislation they actually support: free, taxpayer-funded health care for illegal aliens. A Democrat majority would give these lawmakers more power to pursue an agenda that includes the very same policy they denied supporting. What’s more, such a proposal has a price tag in the trillions.

“Former New Hampshire Doctor Sentenced to Year in Prison for Role in $1.9 Million Medicare Fraud Scheme”
“CONCORD – Former New Hampshire physician Steven Powell, 56, was sentenced to 12 months and a day in federal prison on one count of health care fraud, in connection with a scheme to defraud Medicare by prescribing medical equipment without ever seeing, speaking to, or otherwise examining patients.
Powell, who now lives in Georgia, was sentenced today by U.S. District Court Judge Paul Barbadoro. According to court documents and statements made in court, Powell, a licensed psychiatrist, signed hundreds of medically unnecessary orders for durable medical equipment (DME), including knee, wrist, back, and shoulder braces. He did not examine, speak with, or meaningfully evaluate the Medicare beneficiaries for whom he purported to prescribe these devices. Instead, he approved large volumes of pre‑populated brace orders within minutes, making meaningful medical review impossible. These orders enabled DME suppliers to submit approximately 1,400 fraudulent claims to Medicare totaling more than $1.9 million in claims, of which Medicare paid $761,202.75.”
A psychiatrist prescribing braces? I didn’t realize that was one of their specialities.
No doubt a lot of GOP supports this too.
Biden literally changed the public charge rules, expanding welfare benefits for illegals.
“””Sen. Bernie Sanders’ “Medicare for All” bill would create a right for illegal aliens and other noncitizens...”””
Bernie’s bill probably exceeds what the WOKE European countries offer.
Of course illegals will get free health care on OUR DIME, and they will get first dibs at any doctor they need to see FIRST while the rest of us wait..and just you wait til they import another 100 MILLION illegals who also will be coming here for the “Free” health care, which they will get first dibs for since they will all be given citizenship and voting rights which they will all vote Dem of course..so prepare to wait oh I dont know, 3 + yrs to see a doctor
No doubt a lot of GOP supports this too.“
The GOP has plenty of shortcomings but wanting Medicare for illegals is not among them.
We have $ billions in fraud per year in Medicare now and the fraud appears uncontrollable. What happens when we add a few hundred million more to the mix?
Do people think that illegals are NOT getting free healthcare already? They go to the ER. It’s killing hospitals.
Not just the ERs ...
Emergency Medicaid:
Undocumented seniors can receive emergency Medicaid coverage for the treatment of an emergency medical condition if they meet their state’s income and residency requirements.
State-Specific Programs:
Some states have expanded coverage for older undocumented adults using state funds. For example, New York allows undocumented immigrants aged 65 and older to qualify for full Medicaid coverage as of January 2024. Similarly, Illinois offers coverage for undocumented adults 65 and older through its Health Benefits for Immigrant Adults Program.
Tell me about it.
I worked in three hospital ER’s over the last thirty years and saw it all.
Arrogant, over entitled demanding little scumbags who seem to think that some how Americans, Whites in particular, owe them this for some unspecified reason , something to do with ‘’racism’’.
Madam if you want to pull your hair out spend time in any hospital ER in America and by God if you’re not rabidly xenophobic there’s something wrong with you.
Each and every time those parasites show up in an American hospital ER , get your wallet or checkbook out because you and I are paying for it.
You’re not wrong!
Parasites is a great description.
