Nemo me impune lacessit
Based on an initial set of Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) audits, more than $1B of federal taxpayer dollars were being spent on funding Medicaid for illegal immigrants annually, despite dishonest Democrat denials, deflection, disinformation, and dogged distortions.
Some want to deny that illegal immigrants are receiving any Medicaid-paid services.
Other disingenuous Democrats deflect by insisting it’s illegal for Medicaid to cover illegal immigrants.
But well-informed people know that hospitals can and do provide "emergency services"to illegal immigrants under the Medicaid program.
Democrats have opposed efforts to root out fraud, waste, and abuse, probably because it's one of the Trump Administration’s top priorities.
The truth is that federal law does permit states to use Medicaid dollars for "emergency treatment" regardless of patients’ citizenship or immigration status, and dishonest Democrats know this. Uninformed Democrats don't, because they choose to believe their lying leaders, I guess.
States can also legally build their own Medicaid programs for illegal immigrants using their own state tax dollars, so long as no federal tax dollars are used.
But that didn’t stop Democrats from going even further by breaking federal law to give illegal immigrants federal Medicaid dollars meant for American citizens.
Earlier this year, CMS began auditing state Medicaid programs to ensure they were following the law and not spending any federal tax dollars on illegal immigrants outside of emergency Medicaid.
In a preliminary review of 6 states, CMS found those Democrat-dominated demesnes were improperly using federal tax dollars for their allegedly state-funded program and providing coverage to individuals, including some with criminal records of murder and assault:
CA - $1,310,032,549
DC - $2,114,628
IL - $29,778,645
WA - $2,367,194CO - $1,506,743OR - $5,404,368
CMS notified the states, and some have begun refunding the money.
But what if CMS had never checked?
Whether willful or not, the conduct of judiciously gerrymandered Democrat-dominated jurisdictions highlights the fact that American taxpayers have been footing the bill for illegal immigrants’ Medicaid services, despite despicable Democrats and the manipulative malignant misinformation machine (AKA the hacktivist left-leaning media) insisting otherwise.
Now, deceitful Democrats are demanding the repeal of the president’s Working Families Tax Cuts legislation in exchange for their votes to reopen the government.
Why? This law enhanced the government's ability to limit federal dollars from being spent on healthcare for illegal immigrants.
Until Democrats explicitly drop that demand, they’re blatantly holding the government hostage over giving Medicaid benefits to illegal immigrants.
I said what I said.
Now, they have no excuse to continue lying.
