Report: Illegal Immigrants Collected $7 BILLION in Medicaid Payments | The Gateway Pundit | by Gregory Lyakhov

In a scene reminiscent of political theater, Washington is embroiled in yet another standoff, but this particular episode transcends mere budget arithmetic or the usual partisan bickering.

At its heart lies a pivotal question: should Medicaid, a safety net for low-income Americans, be extended to cover undocumented immigrants?

Democrats advocate for inclusion, while Republicans firmly oppose it. Thus, taxpayers find themselves as unwitting spectators in this impasse.

The saga commenced with the enactment of the aptly named Big Beautiful Bill earlier this year, a piece of legislation that took aim at Medicaid loopholes facilitating the transfer of healthcare costs for undocumented immigrants to federal coffers.

This legislation mandates that states cover these expenses themselves, circumventing the previous practice of pushing these costs onto American taxpayers.

Now, Democrats are staunchly advocating for the reversal of this provision, their unwillingness to compromise fueling the ongoing shutdown.

California serves as a stark example of how this issue has spiraled out of control. In 2023, the state allocated a staggering $3.9 billion in Medicaid funding dedicated to medical services for undocumented immigrants.

Considering that the federal government typically reimburses roughly 70% of Medicaid expenditures, taxpayers nationwide inadvertently shouldered a considerable portion of this financial burden.

In a clever maneuver to extract further funds from Washington, California also augmented provider taxes on hospitals and nursing homes, channeling that revenue back through inflated Medicaid reimbursements.

This sleight of hand gave the illusion of significantly increased spending, while in reality, it was a budgetary ruse engineered to capture federal dollars while offloading costs onto the rest of the nation.

New York mirrored this approach, earmarking $2.4 billion in 2024 for full Medicaid benefits for undocumented immigrants under 65.

Illinois joined the trend, broadening coverage to noncitizens over 42.

This strategy follows a consistent pattern: inflate Medicaid spending, rake in federal reimbursements, and divert funds to individuals who lack legal eligibility.

Residents in states like Texas, Florida, and Ohio never consented to such policies, yet their tax contributions are allocated toward financing them.

Meanwhile, Medicaid itself grapples with issues of fraud and inefficiency. Federal statistics reveal at least five million individuals who are ineligible remain enrolled.

Annual improper payments tally up to around $30 billion, accumulating to over $1.1 trillion during the last decade.

From 2019 to 2021 alone, insurers pocketed $4.3 billion in duplicate payments on individuals enrolled in multiple states.

The Big Beautiful Bill targeted these exact discrepancies by tightening eligibility verifications, disallowing the recycling of provider taxes, and imposing stricter reporting regulations.

The straightforward aim was to preserve Medicaid for eligible citizens and lawful residents—rather than morphing it into a covert subsidy for those violating immigration laws.

Democrats purport that they are “defending health care,” but in reality, they’re advocating for Medicaid access for undocumented immigrants at a juncture when the program already surpasses annual costs of $800 billion.

Safeguarding taxpayers and upholding the integrity of Medicaid should stand as a paramount concern. Instead, Democrats have opted to maintain the shutdown until such benefits are reinstated.
