HHS: Illegals Convicted of Sex Crimes, Attempted Murder Receive Over $230K in Taxpayer-Funded Healthcare Benefits
Breitbart ^ | 27 Oct 2025 | JOHN BINDER

Posted on 10/27/2025 9:07:31 AM PDT by Mr. Mojo

Several illegal aliens, convicted of sex crimes and attempted murder, have received hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of taxpayer-funded Medicaid benefits, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) detailed.

As the federal government remains shut down, HHS Deputy Secretary Jim O’Neill has posted to X just a handful of cases where illegal alien convicts have been able to secure Medicaid benefits — despite Democrats’ claims that such cases do not exist.

“Abraham Pineda Tovar is an 84-year-old illegal alien from Guatemala convicted of sex offenses. He received $7,829 in free taxpayer-funded health care through Medicaid,” O’Neill wrote on X. “Democrats are demanding continued funding of this sex offender’s Medicaid as a condition for reopening the government and paying the hardworking public servants at my department.”

In another example, O’Neill mentioned the case of 38-year-old illegal alien George Bestman, convicted of sexual assault in 2021, who received more than $5,500 in Medicaid benefits.

A similar instance is the case of 33-year-old Elias Nyawenda, convicted of sex crimes, who has received a whopping $176,756 in Medicaid benefits, as well as 41-year-old illegal alien Galuak Rotgai, convicted of attempted second-degree murder after he beat a man with a baseball bat, who has received more than $34,000 in Medicaid benefits.

I bet most of them are the ones saying they will not pay SNAP when and if the government shuts down.

Fake news. I’ve read several ‘credible’ sources from the other side of the aisle that say this is impossible.

“W” would say they’re only committing the sex crimes Americans are too lazy to commit.

It’s okay.

DEMOCRAT Chuck Schumer supports this.

Same for DEMOCRAT Hakeem Jeffries.

Bleeding heart Democrats threatened to let American citizens
die for not paying the outrageous cost of OPIE-KARE plans.

Dems plan was to give tax-paid medical care to foreign law breakers for free.


At the rate they’re going, Dems will need massive blood transfusions.

JEB! called sneaking into our country “an act of love”. 😁
He also paid a million dollars each for three delegates won.
No one in any of the seven countries wants unbridled immigration but the leaders of the G7 and their lefty (here, RINOs too) enablers.

I was looking at HHS Medicaid statistics for 2023. Some states like NC had a high ratio of Improper payments. Some states reported a low rate of improper payments. Some states reported that almost 100% of their improper payments were criminal felonies. Some states like CA reported that under 1% of improper payments were criminal felonies.

Is there that much difference in Medicaid between states? Or is the difference in the administration and reporting of Medicaid?

Why are improper payments made? If a Doctor bills for $100,000 with no detail of what service was performed, why does the software pay for it?

If DUPs exist for Sue Smith, Susan Smith and Susan Jones-Smith and the $100,000 is paid to the Doctor 3 times for the same procedure, why does the software allow it?

Why does Deloitte EMPI Enterprise Master Person Index allow for multiple ID for the same SSN, same person?
