Rep. Maxine Waters slips up and admits the truth about Democrat health care agenda

Democrats are using semantics to argue for health care for illegal immigrants right now, but a couple of them just slipped up. To be clear, federal law prohibits illegal immigrants from receiving taxpayer-funded health care, but Joe Biden figured a way around that.

Now, Democrats are openly admitting that some illegals are receiving these benefits.

California sets the tone

Earlier this year, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed legislation that will allow illegal immigrants to take part in Medi-Cal, which is the state version of the federal Medicaid program.

The new law will go into effect on January 1, which will expand health care services for illegals beyond the emergency care they were qualified to receive under federal law.

Once that goes into effect, roughly 700,000 illegals will be eligible for coverage, all on the state taxpayers’ dime. California State Senator Maria Elana Durazo stated, "This historic investment speaks to California's commitment to health care as a human right.”

Newsom’s office added, “In California, we believe everyone deserves access to quality, affordable health care coverage – regardless of income or immigration status. Through this expansion, we’re making sure families and communities across California are healthier, stronger, and able to get the care they need when they need it.”

Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA)

While other Democrats are denying this is what is taking place, Khanna was a bit more open about it, but still tried to portray the GOP as the bad guys here.

He stated, “In terms of the healthcare, the reality is they are just not being honest. The amount of money that actually is going towards people who are undocumented is such a small portion of the Medicaid cuts or the Affordable Care Act, if at all.

“And so we can argue that point, but the reality is, even the Vice President can acknowledge, that anyone who looks at the numbers will acknowledge this — 90 to 95 percent of the funding we’re talking about is talking about funding for American citizens.”

He can wordsmith this all he wants, but the fact of the matter is that illegals should not be getting any coverage. I am not trying to be heartless here, but with more than 10 million illegals in this country, that is a big check for the American taxpayer if Democrats succeed.

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA)

Waters was asked by a reporter if Democrats were trying to get health care for illegals, and she responded, “Democrats are demanding healthcare for everybody.”

Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) responded, “They’re throwing out a whole host of other things they want to, quote, continue, because they want to set up a political message against Republicans.

“Again, Republicans’ message is pretty simple: Let’s keep government funding the same way Democrats did, I think, 13 times during the Biden presidency, to be able to continue to move things forward on a continuing resolution.”

You cannot reward people for breaking the law, but that is what Democrats want to do. Keep in mind, this would be a huge number for a country that is already swimming in debt. This is what happens when you have people with zero business sense controlling the money of taxpayers. It’s always about the agenda and power, not what is right by the people funding the government.
