Democrats Are Quietly Pulling the Plug on Free Healthcare for Illegal Immigrants

[excalibur]

The media has always lied about this... they are so bad they don't even try and hide their dishonesty anymore...
Imagine... American citizens going bankrupt and hard working taxpayers losing their homes due to high medical bills... but illegal aliens break into our nation and get free healthcare...

They didn't even cover the Dem AG candidate's awful death wish on opponents and their children. Well, one network gave it a total of 63 seconds of coverage. The rest, nada.

 

[Crepitus]

That which they claim doesn't exist. But, of course, it does exit.

Naturally, the MSM goes with the lies.

​

Democrats spent years insisting that providing free healthcare to illegal immigrants was a moral imperative. They haven’t exactly kept that a secret. During the 2020 Democratic presidential primaries, every single candidate promised their healthcare plans would cover healthcare for illegals. Now, though, they've shut down the federal government to protect funding streams for these programs—but are pretending that’s not what they are after.​

​

Nevertheless, we know what their objectives are. But their crusade to give free healthcare to illegals has hit a bit of a snag. Faced with exploding costs and healthcare systems on the brink of collapse, blue state governors are quietly pulling the plug on their own sacred cow.​

​

According to a report from National Review, Gavin Newsom in California, Tim Walz in Minnesota, and JB Pritzker in Illinois have all rolled back or frozen Medicaid programs for illegal immigrants in recent months after discovering the obvious: it’s simply not sustainable to keep offering taxpayer-funded health insurance to illegal immigrants.​

​

Walz previously celebrated Minnesota's expansion in 2023 as a major achievement. Now he's consenting to cuts because the state is staring down a $6 billion deficit by 2028.​

​

The numbers tell the story Democrats don't want you to hear.​

​

California alone spends $8.5 billion annually providing Medi-Cal to illegal residents. Around 1.6 million illegal immigrants enrolled after Newsom expanded eligibility, joining the roughly 15 million Californians already in the program. Illinois saw its immigrant health benefits program balloon to over 30,000 enrollees in just three years, costing $682 million in 2024 and contributing to a state deficit of $3.2 billion.​

​

But the financial burden is only part of the problem. The influx of illegal immigrant patients has created severe shortages in healthcare access for everyone. In California, about 40% of adults couldn't see a doctor for urgent needs within state-mandated timeframes in 2024. Specialist care is even worse. One in five Sacramento County enrollees reported difficulty accessing cardiologists, rheumatologists, or urologists. Adding hundreds of thousands of illegal residents to an already strained system predictably made these shortages worse.​

​

It’s funny how everything conservatives said would happen if illegal immigrants got free health care has happened.​

​

Now reality is forcing uncomfortable admissions. Newsom conceded, "I don't want to be in this position, but we are in this position." California's new budget freezes Medi-Cal enrollment for illegal immigrants and will require current enrollees to pay a $30 monthly premium starting in 2027. Minnesota lawmakers from both parties voted to strip illegal adults from MinnesotaCare entirely. Illinois is shutting down its Health Benefits for Immigrant Adults program altogether.​

Democrats are scaling back free healthcare for illegal immigrants amidst unsustainable costs.

It was never a thing in the first place.

 

[Independent thinker]

They don’t exist.

But you want to believe it because Trump uses the claim to promote the bigotry of his base.

Only a complete moron would believe anything from a trash blog like PJMedia, anyway.

LOL. So, you're saying that several blue areas who provide health insurance for illegals aren't really doing it?

I think the left wing media is burying themselves... people can see them lie and cover up and hide important facts...

 

[Moonglow]

The Dems were actually helping out the MAGATs, but I think they should let the CR go through and let the anvil strike the MAGATs where it will hurt them the most...

 

[Moonglow]

They are way more a Christian than the MAGATS idea of "just let them die, after they eat cake" healthcare.

The law requires that anyone who presents themselves at the Emergency Room, must be treated, regardless of their ability to pay. Reagan signed that law in the 1980's

 

[TimFitz]

Only a complete moron would witness how politics has played out over the last ten years - and still be stupidly recalcitrant enough to call Trump's base "bigoted" and dismiss media sources that have largely gotten everything right.

I know, I know.

Confirmation bias is so pleasing, and cognitive dissonance is hard.

But at some point, if you can't admit you've been wrong about everything - largely because of the information you choose to believe and what you dismiss - then you're either a liar or a.......complete moron.

If anyone has any doubt about Trump’s base being bigoted. They can read Trumpster threads on this and other forums, spend ten minutes on X, or note any of the daily race baiting that the Trump regime traffics in daily.

White bigotry, entitlement and resentment are the core values of Trumpism.

NOPE ^^^^^^^

A visit to the ER, that is covered for all.


Does this ^^^^^ need to be 'revisited' ...... Absolutely.

 

[whitehall]

It's always been a quiet issue for democrats and their minions in the media. As a matter of fact you can't get a single democrat to admit it.

 

[drudge X]

When will Democrats have the moral imperative to provide free healthcare to citizens instead of illegal aliens?

 

[struth]

They are way more a Christian than the MAGATS idea of "just let them die, after they eat cake" healthcare.

What are u talking about?

 

[TimFitz]

What are u talking about?

The policies you support.

 

[22lcidw]

Share your checks. Get rid of those borders that you demand and send half your checks to the people in central America, south America, the islands and other places illegals are coming from.

 

[struth]

The policies you support.

Freedom? Not exploiting illegals for cheap labor? The right to make your own choices? The right to make as much money as you can?

Just a govt willing to defend my rights as it’s citizen?

The right to have the faith I want, so long as it doesn’t impact others?
