A newly released White House memorandum just blew the lid off Democrats’ latest betrayal of the American people.
Buried inside their continuing resolution (CR) is a demand to repeal President Trump’s historic America First healthcare reforms, the very safeguards that protect U.S. citizens from footing the bill for illegal aliens’ medical care.
According to the memo, if Democrats succeed, taxpayers will be on the hook for nearly $200 BILLION in healthcare benefits for illegal immigrants and non-citizens over the next decade, almost enough to fund the entire Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) for the same period.
The Working Families Tax Cut Act (WFTCA), signed into law by President Trump, was designed to end taxpayer subsidies for illegal immigrant healthcare and redirect resources to the most vulnerable Americans. It:
- Ended Medicaid & Medicare funding for most non-citizens.
- Shut down the California loophole that allowed liberal states to siphon federal dollars for illegal alien healthcare.
- Blocked emergency Medicaid expansions that reimbursed hospitals more for treating illegals than for caring for American children and seniors.
- Repealed the Obamacare “special rule” that gave subsidies to immigrants earning below the poverty line while denying them to poor American citizens
According to the memo, the Democrat proposal would:
- Spend $193 billion over 10 years on healthcare for illegal immigrants.
- Repeal safeguards against fraud, improper payments, and abuse of federal programs.
- Cancel Trump’s $50 billion rural healthcare investment.
- Eliminate expanded Health Savings Accounts for 10 million Americans.
- Gut work requirements for able-bodied adults, reviving failed welfare policies
The memo breaks down just how much repealing Trump’s reforms would cost taxpayers:
- $91.4B – Restoring Obamacare funding for non-citizens
- $34.6B – Reopening California’s Medicaid scam
- $28.2B – Emergency care reimbursements for illegals
- $27.3B – Obamacare “special rule” subsidies for non-citizens
- $6.2B – Medicaid for non-citizens
- $5.1B – Medicare for non-citizens
- TOTAL: $192.8 BILLION
