CLAIM: Democrats shut down the government because they want to give free health care to immigrants who entered the U.S. illegally.
THE FACTS: This is false. Democrats say they are pushing for the inclusion of key health care provisions in the next congressional spending package. In particular, they are seeking an extension of tax credits that millions of Americans use to buy insurance on the Affordable Care Act exchange and a reversal of Medicaid cuts made in the bill Trump signed into law in July. However, immigrants in the U.S. illegally are not eligible for any federal health care programs, including insurance provided through the Affordable Care Act and Medicaid. Hospitals do receive Medicaid reimbursements — which would be reduced under Trump’s bill — for emergency care that they are obligated to provide to people who meet other Medicaid eligibility requirements but do not have an eligible immigration status, according to KFF, a nonprofit health policy research, polling and news organization. This spending accounted for less than 1% of total Medicaid spending between fiscal years 2017 and 2023.
Louisiana Voice 
So sick of Republican lies about Medicaid and immigration, amplified by Fox News, or course. Those who get their news exclusively from there have no clue what is really going on.
And, sadly, the truth matters not a whit to any of them. They hear only their master’s voice and its echos.
Not a surprise that your unconsciousness daughter arriving at the emergency room directly from the car accident will receive life saving care days before it is determined if she is an American citizen OR has health care. But while Real Christians or Real Patriotic Americans will not walk away from this person for basic emergency care, despite not knowing their status. The current Trump Administration vocals says they would be happy to.. This displays Trump’s and his supporters values and it not Christian.
