It’s not possible for “illegal” immigrants to receive federal benefits like Medicaid. There are no examples of this happening; they just keep lying about it as an excuse to take healthcare from vulnerable Americans. I don’t understand why mainstream media chooses not to push back on this obvious lie
Dave McCormick on Medicaid: "We want to ensure that the vulnerable people for whom this program was designed are protected and those benefits are protected, but for able-bodied working men without dependents or for illegal immigrants we want to eliminate that expense."
