Immigrants and their U.S.-born children make up more than 40 percent of new Medicaid recipients at a cost of $4.6 billion, according to an analysis of government data.
The Center for Immigration Studies, a low-immigration advocacy group,released a report early Thursday that found both legal and illegal immigrants and their minor children made up 42 percent of Medicaid growth from 2011 to last year.
Part of the increased enrollment came as a result of the new healthcare law’s expansion of Medicaid to impoverished and low-income adults.

i have a family member who is on medicaid and driving a sports car living in a fine townhome with all the best furnishings. Tell me again how medicaid is helping the poor.
And, I have a mom who lives off $873.00 a month and can't get food stamps. These illegal immigrants with their anchor babies are destroying America economically. At the same time, their husbands or boyfriends are working full time making GOOD money. Some of these people are living better than the average American born middle class family and their kids are getting an A plus education for free. I know of one ethnic group in this country that never had it this good.
