Comments on the tweet say that is state, not federal.

They are playing the SFP game... "it doesn't say that"... What it is is they do not understand that the Federal government is funding the state programs and the states are utilizing the funds to fund programs for illegals... But their talking point is "the Federal government isn't funding this"...

Who cares if you want to use the term health insurance or health coverage? Bottom line is we're paying for people who don't need to be here. frick the Dems.

State funded health coverage is jointly funded by the federal government and the state, with the Fed covering a majority of the cost.

That is true for Medicaid in general, but not for the programs certain states have decided to have for illegals, such as New York and, I think, California.

New York (the state and city) picks up the tab. The only exception is emergency care, but that's true nationwide.

So, this is a terrible example to use.

However, these nuances get lost in the shuffle because Democrats have pushed for healthcare for illegals outside of this shutdown. So they are kinda boxed in.

Because republicans will intentionally pretend that it is federally funded and will create fictional explanations to promote the lie.

This is the distinction that the states are making. Even while they tax medical providers which the Federal government than matches those Medicaid provider taxes at rates up to 60% which then provide billions of Federal funds to the states for them to allocate as they see fit (outside of Federal guidelines like those preventing covering illegals).

So you’re not even technically right.

And above I pointed out why it’s not a lie.

Which you know.

But you’re pretending to not know so you can keep lying.

It is federally funded. The state redirects its healthcare funds to illegals and gets reimbursed on the back end with federal funds.

This isn't complicated.
