Illinois to become 1st state to provide Medicaid regardless of immigration status


https://www.sj-r.com/news/20200527/i...DPsyeVscRVzKh4

...Tucked in near the end of the 465-page budget implementation bill that passed the Illinois General Assembly late Saturday night was a provision giving Medicaid access to noncitizens over 65 years old and whose income is $12,670 or less, which is at or under the federal poverty level.

Gov. JB Pritzker said he will approve next year’s budget and its implementations. Medicaid services for qualified undocumented seniors will kick in July 1 when the 2021 budget year begins...

No wonder the state is close to bankruptcy.
A government entity chronically without any common sense whatsoever.

The City of Chicago is no better.

The state is hopelessly insolvent and taxing residents into exodus and they decide to pay for free healthcare for illegals. The Democrats are just too stupid to live.

They are desperate to attract people to Illinois, and know that being a sanctuary state with the additional cherry on top of Medicaid for illegals will be just the thing to keep them in power. The only thing I can think to say to Pricktzer and Lighthead begins with an "F" and ends with a "U". Although I have to give credit for that phrase, it's not my creation. Thank GOD I'm soon to move. For the record, Minneapolis isn't on the list.

Why is it that everyone I come across who is either leaving Illinois or has long since left are always SO happy! Never mind, dumb question

Desperate to attract people who can't or WON'T support themselves? Now, where is the logic in that? Mr. Spock would be perplexed.

Remember when this country used to vet people before they were allowed to immigrate to the U.S.? They were supposed to be able to show that they would not be a burden to our society and would be able to bring with them some talents or abilities that would help the common good. All together now, "Thank you Democrats".

It is helpful to health care providers who accept Medicaid, but it also has the potential to incentivize illegal immigration.

This is exactly why I have no confidence tax increases and JB's "fair tax" will do anything to help the state. No mater how much money you give leftists they just find new ways to squander it.
