The main reason they were given Medicaid is because they were told to show up here in the US. They do, sick, pregnant, unvaccinated, and then they head directly to the nearest Emergency room. The ERs along the border are constantly slammed and overburdened, causing many to have to either consider ceasing operations or totally shutting down. This hurts the citizens who depend on those services being available.

The Democratic answer was to give Medicaid to them so that they could go get care. They also made laws saying they cannot be turned away if they show up for emergency care.
It is a catch-22 that staggers the imagination.
Healthcare is not free. It costs money for meds, supplies, people to work. When you stop paying people to take care of others, they will find something else to do. Humanitarian thoughts and ideas tend to diminish if you are wiping butts, delivering babies all hours of the night, and catching every virus that comes thru the door, especially if you are not being paid to do it.

California overbills medicaid to the tune of over 4 billion a year and then uses it to fund illegals.

They are caught and the feds stop it.

In addition they have a shortfall in income, due to people moving out, of over 100 billion dollars.

Seems like a bold strategy Cotton. Economics never was the strong suit of Newsome. Perhaps thats why they are in the worst financial shape of any state even though they have the largest income.

And are now having to stop that process, immediately after stopping it.
that caused them to have a 6.2 billion dollar shortfall in Medi Cal, and with the Feds investigating, can't overbill and blur the lines between state and federal Medicaid expenses.

Pretty sure that Minnesota is kicking illegals off their state insurance programs, due to cost.

what sucks, though, is that these people are still going to go to emergency rooms, and will suck funds from Emergency Medicaid.
Sanctuary states encourage them to come, protect them, but Fed tax dollars will pay for their "emergency" services.

Another reason it's imperative that as many as possible are removed.

We need charity hospitals again. Where Medicaid and foreigners have to go. They clog up up the ER and cause long wait times for sick people.

Now this, this is what I voted for. Even if it doesn’t amount to much.

Exactly why deportation efforts need to be cranked all the way up.
And when you say less than 1% of total Medicaid costs, you mean $4 billion. $4 billion per year.

I cannot believe we’re subsidizing the leftists’ voters in these big blue states with free healthcare.

Healthcare resources which are already strained and being provided to many who don’t even put anything back into the system.


I’m truly appalled.

I'll defer to those more learned than I about how this works, but I assume this is the kind of law that is buried in an omnibus bill? Seems like if we had single issue bills, or even something less than these ridiculous bills that are now the norm, stuff like this would be far less likely to be implemented. Imagine a member of Congress proposing a stand alone bill to give illegal aliens free medical coverage.

Might want to do a little research as to why Ca and Medi-Cal are billions in the hole. That's just one state. Get back to us with an honest full report. TIA
