A newly released White House memorandum just blew the lid off Democrats’ latest betrayal of the American people.
Buried inside their continuing resolution (CR) is a demand to repeal President Trump’s historic America First healthcare reforms, the very safeguards that protect U.S. citizens from footing the bill for illegal aliens’ medical care.
According to the memo, if Democrats succeed, taxpayers will be on the hook for nearly $200 BILLION in healthcare benefits for illegal immigrants and non-citizens over the next decade, almost enough to fund the entire Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) for the same period.
The Working Families Tax Cut Act (WFTCA), signed into law by President Trump, was designed to end taxpayer subsidies for illegal immigrant healthcare and redirect resources to the most vulnerable Americans. It:
- Ended Medicaid & Medicare funding for most non-citizens.
- Shut down the California loophole that allowed liberal states to siphon federal dollars for illegal alien healthcare.
- Blocked emergency Medicaid expansions that reimbursed hospitals more for treating illegals than for caring for American children and seniors.
- Repealed the Obamacare “special rule” that gave subsidies to immigrants earning below the poverty line while denying them to poor American citizens
According to the memo, the Democrat proposal would:
- Spend $193 billion over 10 years on healthcare for illegal immigrants.
- Repeal safeguards against fraud, improper payments, and abuse of federal programs.
- Cancel Trump’s $50 billion rural healthcare investment.
- Eliminate expanded Health Savings Accounts for 10 million Americans.
- Gut work requirements for able-bodied adults, reviving failed welfare policies
The memo breaks down just how much repealing Trump’s reforms would cost taxpayers:
- $91.4B – Restoring Obamacare funding for non-citizens
- $34.6B – Reopening California’s Medicaid scam
- $28.2B – Emergency care reimbursements for illegals
- $27.3B – Obamacare “special rule” subsidies for non-citizens
- $6.2B – Medicaid for non-citizens
- $5.1B – Medicare for non-citizens
- TOTAL: $192.8 BILLION
According to the press release:
Democrats and their Fake News allies want you to believe it’s all a lie that Democrats shut down the government over free healthcare for illegal aliens.
Except that’s exactly what happened. As Vice President JD Vance said, “It’s not something that we made up. It’s not a talking point. It is in the text of the bill that they initially gave to us to reopen the government.”
As the White House makes clear in a new memo, Democrats’ unserious proposal takes extraordinary efforts to accommodate illegal aliens while repealing reforms that strengthen healthcare for American citizens.
Here’s what you need to know:
- FACT: Democrats’ proposal would result in nearly $200 billion spent on healthcare for illegal immigrants and other non-citizens over the next decade — enough to fund the entire Children’s Health Insurance Program.
- FACT: Democrats’ proposal would once again allow those improperly granted asylum and parole under Biden’s open borders scheme to receive Medicaid.
- FACT: Democrats’ proposal would require Medicaid to pay more for emergency care provided to illegal aliens than it does for American patients who are disabled, elderly, or children.
- FACT: Democrats’ proposal would allow California to continue exploiting a loophole to fund Medicaid for illegal aliens.
- FACT: Democrats’ proposal would reinstate a special Obamacare subsidy for non-citizens — for which low-income American citizens are not eligible.
- FACT: Democrats’ proposal would repeal a generational $50 billion investment in rural healthcare.
- FACT: Democrats’ proposal would take Health Savings Accounts away from ten million American citizens.
