Claim: Democrats want to provide health care for “illegal” immigrantsOne of the Democrats’ asks before they help reopen the government is to roll back the health care section from the One Big Beautiful Bill.
First, Republicans point to the Alien Medicaid Eligibility section as an example of Democrats wanting to give “illegals” health care.
Still, if the court decides to revoke parole, the immigrants would be ineligible for the program, which gives benefits like health care to some lawfully present immigrants.
So yes, in this circumstance, undocumented immigrants receive health care, and hospitals get paid for their treatment.
That leads to the Democrats’ other health care ask: extending the pandemic-era enhanced Affordable Care Act tax credit.
