[]
The Nashville Ledger
Here's a closer look at the facts:CLAIM: Democrats shut down the government because they want to give free health care to immigrants who entered the U.S. illegally.
Democrats say they are pushing for the inclusion of key health care provisions in the next congressional spending package.
However, immigrants in the U.S. illegally are not eligible for any federal health care programs, including insurance provided through the Affordable Care Act and Medicaid.
He added later that "they want to have illegal aliens come into our country and get massive health care at the cost to everybody else."
Some states use their own money, not federal funds, to provide health care to immigrants who don't have lawful status.
