To be clear: most 2019 dem candidates supported extending healthcare covg options to undocumented immigrants, but those policies never became law.
Today - there are no democratic proposals that include such coverage.
Claiming Dems shut down the govt over healthcare covg for migrants is FALSE

It’s now up to us to make sure Republicans pay the price at the ballot box.
