Wait…what? We've been told over and over that illegal immigrants are not receiving Medicaid!
Congress can deliver on three of President Trump’s biggest priorities: Discourage illegal immigration, reform a broken welfare program and save taxpayers billions. It can all be done if Republicans roll back Medicaid for illegal aliens in their coming reconciliation bill.
As we show in our new report for the Foundation for Government Accountability, migrants have been allowed and even encouraged to abuse Medicaid — at enormous cost to Americans.
Medicaid was created for low-income citizens and lawful residents. But for more than a decade, and especially under Joe Biden, states have corrupted the program by letting it cover illegal immigrants, too. This creates an obvious incentive to enter the US illegally, since foreigners know they can get health care on the taxpayers’ dime. It also pushes vulnerable Americans, including the elderly and people with disabilities, to the back of the line for care. Often, they’re stuck behind able-bodied adults who shouldn’t be in this country at all.
Since 2020, Medicaid expenditures on illegal aliens have grown by more than 75%.
