While Everyone Was Focused on Trump, Here’s the ‘Gift’ Obama Gave Illegal Aliens

While it’s true that illegal aliens can’t get Obamacare, they’re STILL getting taxpayer funded health care in many states. In other words, instead of helping Americans, tax dollars are being spent to pay the medical bills of people who aren’t even supposed to be in this country. First of all, as the Wall Street Journal notes,

When federal lawmakers wrote the act overhauling the nation’s health-care system six years ago, they ruled out any possibility of extending health insurance to illegal immigrants.

Local officials where many of those immigrants live are treating them anyway.

A Wall Street Journal survey of the 25 U.S. counties with the largest unauthorized immigrant populations found that 20 of them have programs that pay for the low-income uninsured to have doctor visits, shots, prescription drugs, lab tests and surgeries at local providers. The services usually are inexpensive or free to participants, who must prove they live in the county but are told their immigration status doesn’t matter.

Because Obama is adding to the Federal debt instead of state debt, liberals have been freed up to spend more on taking care of illegal aliens. Chris Conover explains how it works at Forbes.
