LEAVITT: "They inserted a provision to undo a provision in the Working Families Tax Cut, the one big beautiful bill that ended taxpayer-funded healthcare illegal benefits for illegal aliens. Democrats' proposal would require Medicaid to pay more for emergency care provided to illegal aliens than Medicaid does for American patients who are disabled, elderly, or children!"

"And it is an undisputed FACT, a FACT, that under the Biden administration, illegal aliens were absolutely receiving taxpayer funded healthcare benefits. In fact, in fiscal year 2024, Medicaid costs for emergency services for illegal immigrants skyrocketed by 142% from the previous year to $9.1 billion! That's $9.1 billion taxpayer dollars that were going to emergency services for illegals."
