Medicaid for illegals

[IM2]

Farming on the half was another term for it.

My grandparents were sharecroppers. They called it slavery by another name.

Can you ******* morons pay attention to the context of a discussion? Jesus. It’s like we have to spell everything out for you.

Feds don’t pay for illegal aliens on Medicaid.

Some states expanded Medicaid to some illegal aliens with their own funding.

Do you need a chill pill? You seemed to be upset over being caught about your disinformation activity.

Im annoyed by the army of morons trying to have a “gotcha” moment who are too stupid to read the thread and understand context.

You said upthread that the federal government doesn’t fund Medicaid.

[OhPleaseJustQuit]

well, now, after the Civil War we figured out what to do about the cotton and tobacco, didn't we? Or did we need another year or five to "transition"?

And we've got SO MUCH TECHNOLOGY that allows us to harvest mechanically.

(Trump has had an AMAZING week, so Moroner be mad!!)

You said it was funded by the states. We have pointed out that the federal government funds most of it.

Post in thread 'Medicaid for illegals'

Jul 2, 2025

From the article it will now fall on the states. So buckle up NY and CA, there’s no federal funding coming your way to offset this expense.

It always was funded by the states. The article doesn’t explain shit.

The thread is about Medicaid for illegal immigrants, which was what I was referring to.

Any rational adult would have understood that.

This is just an attempt to deflect from the topic of the thread and the point I was making.

 

[Seymour Flops]

Yes. I only meant illegal aliens. That’s the context of this thread.

Fair enough.

So if only the states are paying for illegal aliens who get medicaid, then no cut in the big, beautiful bill could affect them.

Feds do pay for illegals on Medicaid, liar.

Yes, and the federal government is funding that too, indirectly, by funding Medicaid for legal people and thus leaving extra money for states to give health insurance to illegals.

Read it.

You said the feds don’t fund Medicaid.

You lied.

 

[BULLDOG]

My grandparents were sharecroppers. They called it slavery by another name.

And it was. They promised a certain percentage of the profit from each crop, but the percentage was low and there were so many deductions from that number.

 

[Marener]

Fair enough.

So if only the states are paying for illegal aliens who get medicaid, then no cut in the big, beautiful bill could affect them.

Sure it can. The bill reduces funding for citizens on Medicaid in the states that have decided on their own to fund Medicaid for illegal aliens with their own funds.

 

[Marener]

That’s stupid. The state would get the exact same amount of money from the federal government whether or not they provide illegals with coverage.

And as you pointed out, these states tend to get less funding than the shitholes that republicans run.

Let’s say my daddy is giving me $1000 a month for food. I spend only $500 of it on food, and I use the rest to buy drugs.

So my father says he will reduce the amount he gives me to $500. Sounds reasonable.

That’s what’s happening here. States that can afford to give Medicaid to scofflaws from foreign countries doesn’t need the amount of Medicaid we taxpayers are forking over.

No, not at all.

The federal government only funds a portion of Medicaid for legal residents and citizens.

Your analogy is totally wrong. The grocery bill is $1000 and you get $500 from dad to help out, even though dad gives your sister $750 because she’s a loser.

But there are other reasons it’s a shitty analogy.

 

[Silent Warrior]

America invites illegal immigrants in to work by the millions, but is trying to deny them health care.

This is the reason why fascism doesn't work.

It didn't work for Nazi Germany with the Jews either.

No. America invites legal immigrants in to work and you apparently don't even know what fascism means.

Considering the mountain of misinformation being circulated by trump and conservative media in an attempt to 1. further demonize immigrants 2. take the attention away from the bill's primary objective.....permanent tax cuts for the rich, this article is worth a thorough read.

Confusion persists about immigrants’ eligibility for federal programs, with about half or more of U.S. adults and immigrants adults saying they are unsure or incorrectly believe that most immigrants to the U.S. are eligible to enroll in federal health insurance programs, including Medicaid, as soon as they arrive to the U.S. Eligibility for Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) is limited to citizens and certain lawfully present immigrants. Many citizens and lawfully present immigrants live in families with mixed immigration status, which may include undocumented immigrants. For example, 19 million or one in four children in the U.S. has an immigrant parent, including one in ten (12%) or 9 million who are citizen children with a noncitizen parent. Although most immigrant families have a full-time worker in the household, they tend to have lower incomes. As such, Medicaid and CHIP help keep uninsured rates for children in these families low and provide an affordable coverage option to eligible lawfully present immigrants. Despite having lower incomes, among those under age 65, immigrants are less likely than U.S.-born citizens to have Medicaid or CHIP coverage (19% vs. 23%) and eligible noncitizen immigrants account for just 6% of Medicaid and CHIP enrollees.

Hopefully it will serve to dispel many of the lies trump fans have accepted as the truth.

You're confused about the difference between an immigrant and an illegal immigrant.

There seems to be a widespread inability to comprehend this among the left. It doesn't help the perception that you're all pretty dumb.

We'll only be able to tell the difference when millions of illegals are deported.

Or maybe when a cabbage cost 10 bucks at the grocery store. LOL
