The Senate allows Medicaid to illegal aliens

I was talking with someone from Scotland this weekend. He was saying how when he was at home he saw an American tourist get in a bad car accident.

When emergency crew showed up and started extricating him from the car, the American started begging them not to take him to the hospital because he couldn’t afford it - saying he would lose his house. But no, the NHS considers all humans to be worthy of medical care.

He also said that he got a broken arm during a previous visit to America, and although he had travelers insurance, the hospital still insisted that he put up a credit card with at least $10,000 available before they would treat him.

Fuck America. Don’t travel here. We don’t give a shit about the general welfare, never mind if you aren’t a citizen.

Illegal immigrants aren't on Medicaid.

Your statement is not entirely accurate. While it is true that
undocumented immigrants are generally not eligible for traditional Medicaid due to federal restrictions, there are nuances and exceptions:

  • Emergency Medicaid: Undocumented immigrants who meet other Medicaid eligibility requirements (like income) can receive Medicaid coverage for emergency medical services. This includes things like treatment in a hospital emergency room for conditions requiring immediate attention.
  • State-Funded Programs: Some states choose to use state-only funds to provide coverage for certain groups of immigrants, including undocumented individuals. These programs may offer broader benefits than Emergency Medicaid.
  • Pregnant Women and Children: States have the option to provide Medicaid or CHIP coverage to lawfully residing immigrant children and pregnant women within the five-year waiting period that typically applies. Some states also use state or CHIP funds to provide prenatal care and pregnancy-related benefits to pregnant women, regardless of their immigration status.
Important Points:
  • Federal law restricts most federal benefits, including Medicaid, for undocumented immigrants, with exceptions for emergency care and some limited programs.
  • The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has increased oversight to ensure states are not improperly using federal Medicaid dollars to cover individuals who are not lawfully eligible.
  • Emergency Medicaid spending accounts for a very small portion of overall Medicaid spending, less than 1%.
Therefore, while most undocumented immigrants are not on traditional Medicaid, some may have access to coverage for emergencies or through state-funded programs.
 
Since illegal aliens aren't allowed to be on Medicaid, can you explain the circumstances in which they would receive any Medicaid assistance? Be specific
Check California, they can vote too

I’ve posted your facts on a few occasions, they just refuse to accept the fact that money is fungible, whether it is state funded or emergency funded health care it still comes out of the taxpayers pockets. It’s a semantic word game. They’re technically correct but it’s a lie by omission. Democrats are masters at that game. The next argument out of their mouth is usually a comment along the lines that republicans don’t have empathy toward sick migrants. What we have a problem with is allowing millions of undocumented migrants into our country in the first place, overwhelming our social programs designed to assist our own citizens. Democrats believe that funding is limitless.

By that logic, all illegals have access Medicaid money, dipshit.

Literally all hospitals receive Medicaid money and therefore anyone who has to go to the hospital receives Medicaid.

Also, illegals have access to our infrastructure tax dollars by driving on roads. We should remove all infrastructure from illegals.
 
COVERUP: Oops, Narrative Fail. “Those controversial Medicaid cuts come from two basic categories: cutting off able-bodied men who refuse to work, and not using Medicaid to provide health care for illegals. Democrats downplay the first and deny the second is happening at all, despite massive evidence to the contrary. But a funny thing happened this week that largely went unnoticed–a number of states are suing to prevent the federal government from using Medicaid data to find illegal aliens.”

Way to cite your source 👍

Both are exaggerated by the right. No illegal receives Medicaid. They do, however, receive emergency care and services outside of Medicaid that are reimbursed by the federal government. That same care and service will be paid for by increasing medical costs for taxpayers directly rather than via the federal government.

All of this to say you would not aid a person in need of emergency medical care if they were not citizens.

So just to be clear: you’re saying the real issue isn't the cost of emergency care, but who deserves it?

Because, under U.S. law, hospitals are required to treat anyone in a medical emergency. It doesn’t matter if they’re a citizen, a migrant, rich or poor. That’s not some “Democrat belief”—it’s federal law and basic medical ethics.

Doctors aren’t border agents. They don’t ask for papers before saving lives. If your position is that sick or injured people should be turned away because they crossed the border without documentation, then yes—you're confirming that the issue isn't money. It's empathy.

And if that’s what you believe Republicans stand for, you’ve made the case more clearly than any Democrat ever could.

No, what I’m saying is an ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure.

I’m all for prevention, but platitudes without context don’t move the conversation forward.

Prevention of what, exactly? Constitutional rights? Medical care for children? Honest debate?

If you’re frustrated, I get it—these are hard topics. But tossing out vague sayings without addressing the substance of what was said doesn’t clarify your position. It dodges it.

If you’ve got something concrete to add, I’m listening. If not, let’s call it what it is: you are unable to support your thinking and punted with a platitude.

Don't need platitudes to describe the damage Biden's immigration policy has created. Don't need platitudes to describe Biden's dismal failures in foreign policy. I get tired of writing the same arguments over and over. It used to be interesting, not any more, now it's just trolling.

Trolling... your post is a prime example. All platitudes, while saying no need for platitudes!

Dana Nessel Sues President Donald Trump To Keep Illegal Immigrants On Medicaid​

1 Comment / By Victor Skinner / July 4, 2025


Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel wants to protect illegal immigrants using taxpayer-funded Medicaid, so she’s suing President Donald Trump for exposing them. Nessel joined a coalition of blue states in a lawsuit challenging the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ decision to provide Medicaid data to the Department of Homeland Security tasked with immigration enforcement.

“Dana Nessel is suing to KEEP illegal immigrants on Medicaid,” Sen. Aric Nesbitt, a Lawton Republican running for governor, posted to X. “Looks like she wants to continue her losing streak.” In June, DHHS sent information on non-citizens enrolled in Medicaid in California, Illinois, Washington state and Washington, D.C. to “to ensure that Medicaid benefits are reserved for individuals who are lawfully entitled to receive them,” department spokesman Andrew Nixon told The Associated Press.

Data from the House Energy and Commerce Committee on “waste, fraud, and abuse” in Medicaid shows there’s 1.4 million illegal immigrants enrolled, 1.2 million recipients who are ineligible, and 4.8 million able bodied adults choosing not to work.

Khanna: Illegal Immigrants Do Get Some Medicaid, But BBB Puts It All on States​

On Thursday’s broadcast of NewsNation’s “Cuomo,” Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) responded to arguments that illegal immigrants get Medicaid by saying that this is referring to when illegal immigrants show up in an emergency room and the state pays for it, but the reconciliation bill “basically puts the burden all on the states, and it’s still funding it, you don’t zero it out.”

Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL) said, “The bill cuts Medicaid…for illegal immigrants. Now, if they want to say illegal immigrants should get Medicaid, they should just make that argument.”

After host Chris Cuomo cut in to say, “But they don’t get federal money.” Fine responded, “They do. 1.4 — that same analysis you referenced said 1.4 million illegal immigrants get Medicaid.”

Khanna then countered, “What we’re talking about is an undocumented person shows up in an emergency room in a hospital. The state takes care of it. Now you actually, in the bill, don’t cut it. What you take is the reimbursement goes down from 90% to 50%. I believe most people in this country believe that if someone shows up having a heart attack, the doctor should treat them. And if you believe that, your bill basically puts the burden all on the states, and it’s still funding it, you don’t zero it out.”

She's not suing to keep them on Medicaid. She's suing because of breach of patient privacy.
Why does Rightguide have so much trouble comprehending things? I'm glad you're here to point out that he misinterpreted the text and the lawsuit.

You would think the news would be written at a grade level that... no scratch that... It's not the grade level, just the lack of comprehension.
